Trump's Tense Meeting with Zelenskyy Sparks Concerns Over Ukraine's Future

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's recent visit to Washington was cordial but lacked substance due to poor timing and inflated expectations, particularly regarding Ukraine's request for Tomahawk missiles. The meeting was overshadowed by a prior call between Trump and Putin, which influenced U.S. support considerations. Ukraine missed opportunities to secure other crucial military and energy aid, and experts suggest that better timing and strategic recalibration could have improved outcomes amid ongoing Russian attacks and winter energy concerns.
