Trump is a coward and Putin’s puppet. Vance is Trump’s puppet. Yesterday, we saw a meeting of two puppets—and a hero, says Rep. Seth Moulton on Zelensky’s meeting with Trump.

“Many republicans agree with me, but are scared to openly say it,” he said.

Overnight, Russia launched 154 drones. A total of 103 were shot down and another 51 were suppressed by electronic warfare.

Zelensky should apologize for his dispute with Trump and Vance at the White House, says U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “He didn’t need to go there and be hostile. I think he should apologize for wasting our time on a meeting that was bound to end this way.”

🇺🇦🇺🇸 President Zelensky arrived at the White House as U.S. weapons aid to Ukraine had stalled. After a tense, televised clash with President Trump, the situation looked even worse. A Trump official later warned that all U.S. aid to Ukraine could be canceled imminently.

Zelensky's meeting with Trump and Vance ended in chaos, leading to the abrupt cancellation of a key minerals deal & a press conference. Trump reportedly told Zelensky to "make a deal with Russia or we're out." Now, U.S. military aid to Ukraine is in question.

High level administration sources confirmed to CBS that there have been discussions about whether U.S. will keep sending military aid to Ukraine after the Oval Office clash between Trump and Zelensky.

🇺🇦 Former British ambassador Simon Smith tells Sky News that Zelensky was set up by the White House team during his meeting with Trump. Smith called the exchange "astonishing" and noted how deep Trump's resentment of Zelensky still runs, referring to past tensions and Trump's desire to move quickly on the conflict.

🇺🇦 Fact check: Zelensky has thanked the U.S. 33 times for its support, including POTUS, Congress, defense companies, and the American people. Despite claims in the heated Oval Office meeting, Zelensky’s gratitude has been consistent throughout the war.
