Zelenskiy Calls Trump’s Shift on Ukraine ‘Painful’ Amid Diesel Sanctions EasingPreviousNext

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed disappointment over US President Donald Trump's recent stance, particularly his call for Zelenskiy’s replacement and the easing of sanctions on Russian diesel exports. Zelenskiy described it as "painful" when Trump sided against Ukraine, though he said he would accept neutrality if consistent. He lamented losing a strong partner and emphasized Ukraine’s commitment to its sovereignty, rejecting any notion of selling the country or treating it as a business matter.
