Zelenskyy Says End To Russian War On Ukraine Is 'Very, Very Far Away'

Zelenskyy publicly was upbeat despite recent diplomatic upheaval between Western countries that have been helping Ukraine with military hardware and financial aid. The turn of events is unwelcome for Ukraine, whose understrength army is having a hard time keep bigger Russian forces at bay.

A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia 바카라is still very, very far away,바카라 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with US President Donald Trump.

바카라I think our relationship (with the US) will continue, because it's more than an occasional relationship,바카라 Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington's support for the past three years of war.

바카라I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America바카라 to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

Zelenskyy publicly was upbeat despite recent diplomatic upheaval between Western countries that have been helping Ukraine with military hardware and financial aid. The turn of events is unwelcome for Ukraine, whose understrength army is having a hard time keep bigger Russian forces at bay.

The Ukrainian leader was in London to attend UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's effort to rally his European counterparts around continuing 바카라 and likely much increased 바카라 support for Ukraine from the continent amid political uncertainty in the US, and Trump's overtures toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Europe is suspicious of Trump's motives and strategy. Friedrich Merz, Germany's likely next leader after the recent election, said Monday that he didn't think last Friday's Oval Office blow-up was spontaneous.

He said that he had watched the scene repeatedly. 바카라My assessment is that it wasn't a spontaneous reaction to interventions by Zelenskyy, but apparently an induced escalation in this meeting in the Oval Office,바카라 Merz said.

He said that he was 바카라somewhat astonished by the mutual tone,바카라 but there has been 바카라a certain continuity to what we are seeing from Washington at the moment바카라 in recent weeks.

바카라I would advocate for us preparing to have to do a great, great deal more for our own security in the coming years and decades,바카라 he said.

Even so, Merz said that he wanted to keep the trans-Atlantic relationship alive.

바카라I would also advocate doing everything to keep the Americans in Europe,바카라 he said.
