Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced concerns over the US prioritizing Vladimir Putin’s interests over Ukraine’s sovereignty. In an interview with Germany’s ARD channel, Zelenskyy warned that Washington’s attempts to appease Putin could weaken Europe’s defense and undermine Ukraine’s future. He criticized the US for considering reduced military support and accused Donald Trump of aligning with Putin’s demands. Zelenskyy emphasized that any ceasefire excluding Ukraine’s involvement would not be a victory. He reiterated that Ukraine will not sign any agreements without direct participation in peace talks. As tensions escalate, Zelenskyy’s remarks highlight growing fears over waning Western support and the geopolitical implications of appeasing Russia. The situation underscores the delicate balance in international diplomacy and Ukraine’s determination to safeguard its sovereignty.
