Summary
Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had a heated argument during an Oval Office meeting that ended with Zelenskyy leaving without signing a planned bilateral agreement.
Despite the diplomatic breakdown, Ukrainians rallied around Zelenskyy, praising him for standing firm on Ukraine’s interests against pressure from Trump and JD Vance, who criticized him for lacking gratitude for previous U.S. support.
While Moscow officials were delighted by the apparent rift, many Ukrainians viewed Zelenskyy as defending their country’s dignity during the 3-year Russian invasion.
He should now offer rare earth minerals to the EU.
The absolute funniest outcome would be Ukraine offering the same deal to the EU and the EU counteroffering with “how about you offer us half that because supporting you benefits us all”
Absolutely. I’m willing to bet that’s what will happen after the EU meeting he’s going to attend.
Fuck yes! But also ask for a defensive military presence.
Pretty sure they’re already working on it
