Ukraine Warns U.S. Against Putin

What happened

The Trump administration waived new sanctions on Russia and agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to put Russian diesel on global markets. President Donald Trump said the deal could help lower soaring fuel prices. The war has made U.S. support vital for Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country would struggle to win without it. Zelenskyy warned that an official U.S. turn toward Russia would be a “historic mistake.” He said U.S. intelligence sharing was interrupted for about three days during Russian ballistic-missile attacks, leaving Ukraine without warnings; Trump said it never stopped. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for talks to end the war.

Left-leaning outlets framed the episode as a risk that Washington was drifting toward Moscow, while still noting Kyiv’s effort to keep talks alive. Salon emphasized concessions to Russia as a threat to Ukraine’s defense. Al Jazeera highlighted Zelenskyy’s message that contact with Washington remained “virtually nonstop”. The Guardian linked the wider fight to a collapsed energy ceasefire.
