Will the US withdraw its support for Ukraine?

Volodymr Zelenskyy’s visit to Ukraine, which hoped the US would support it in the face of Russian invasion, ended in a very public discussion.

The White House meeting with President Donald Trump was supposed to be about transferring ownership of some of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.

Despite not offering any safeguards against Russian aggression, Kyiv hoped that this would keep US assistance coming.

Instead, Trump and his vice president JD Vance accused the wartime leader of showing disrespect and indolence.

Trump is now threatening to withdraw Ukraine’s support.

What does the Ukrainen War mean?

Will Washington negotiate with Moscow on a unilateral basis?
