Walesa, Former Polish Leaders Criticize Trump-Zelenskyy Clash

Former Polish president Lech Walesa and 38 other political prisoners expressed their horror at President Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent Oval Office meeting, where Trump criticized Zelensky for not showing adequate gratitude for U.S. support amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The letter, posted by Walesa, emphasized that true gratitude should be directed towards the brave Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines. Reactions from the Ukrainian community in the U.S. highlight a sense of panic and confusion following the meeting, with many feeling uncertain about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. Ukrainian-Canadians are similarly alarmed, fearing that Trump's rhetoric mirrors tactics used by Russia, potentially jeopardizing both Ukraine and Canada's security. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress condemned the meeting, labeling it a deliberate attack on Zelensky. As concerns mount, voices from various communities call for increased support for Ukraine in light of the ongoing conflict.
