Zelenskyy Urged to Resign Amid US Support Crisis

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the need for continued U.S. support after a contentious meeting with President Donald Trump, where they debated the ongoing war with Russia and a potential minerals deal. Despite the heated exchange, Zelenskyy reaffirmed the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the U.S., stating that America’s assistance is crucial for Ukraine's survival. In response, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Zelenskyy's behavior during the meeting, suggesting he should resign or change his approach if he wants to maintain U.S. support. Trump echoed Graham's sentiments, expressing disappointment over Zelenskyy's perceived lack of gratitude and stating he would not engage further until Zelenskyy is ready for peace. Democrats, however, condemned the meeting, claiming it embarrassed the U.S. on the global stage and could embolden Russia. The fallout from this encounter raises questions about future U.S. military and financial assistance to Ukraine.
