Trump Praises Zelensky's Efforts Amid Ukraine-Russia Conflict, Signaling Policy Shift
US President Donald Trump recently praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's efforts in the ongoing conflict with Russia, describing him as courageous and doing "pretty well" despite heavy casualties on both sides. This marks a shift from earlier criticisms, including a past White House confrontation where Trump said Zelensky lacked the "cards" to win. The leaders met at the G7 summit, agreeing to increase pressure on Russia, with Zelensky expressing gratitude for US support and Trump's renewed interest in sanctions on Russian oil.
