Zelensky's statement about US pressure
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky said that the latest US decisions regarding Ukraine look like pressure aimed at its 'capitulation' to Russia. He emphasized that he does not claim that the partners actually have such a goal, and refused to think that 'the American partners believe the war can be ended faster at Ukraine's expense.' However, according to him, that is 'exactly what it looks like.'

The Economist wrote that US President Donald Trump's rapprochement with Russia is causing concern in Europe and Ukraine, since without Washington the allies will not be able to provide Kyiv with the necessary support. Earlier, the German Foreign Ministry stated that Ukraine itself will decide what kind of peace is acceptable for it.
