After a bitter rift with Donald Trump left many in Ukraine fearing that the US president had swung behind Russia again, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the dispute head on: there’s nothing personal between me and Trump, he told CNN, but cozying up to Vladimir Putin would only “make him stronger.”
Ties between the US and Ukraine have badly deteriorated in recent weeks.
Zelensky said Trump was “on the wrong side of history” after he announced a deal to buy Russian fuel, upending international efforts to isolate Russia. Trump then waived some sanctions against Russia, drawing criticism even from his own party. Ukraine’s forces found their access to the Elon Musk-run Starlink service restricted.
Speaking to CNN from Kyiv on Thursday, Zelensky took a conciliatory tone, saying the tensions were “not about personalities” – but warned that Putin had no intention of stopping the war.



A marvel movie? For you, probably. For me that’s just my life unfortunately.
A fabricated video always has distinctive features, by which you can tell it was fabricated. Do you have any argument in favor of your claim? Or is it just your speculation based of your personal preferences? Each of those people have names, you know?
I like how you called my words “banderite word pasta”, because that just show that you didn’t even try to read it.
Must be very easy calling everyone whose stance you don’t like “zombified banderites”, but I’m not sure you should be the arbiter of who’s politically charged here considering that you struggle to participate in an actual discussion, and close your eyes any time an actual evidence is presented.
