Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly criticized President Donald Trump and questioned the long-term reliability of US support for Ukraine. Zelensky stated that Trump cannot be a security guarantor for Ukraine, asking what would happen after his term ends in two and a half years. He also argued that potential US pressure for Ukraine to cede the Luhansk and Donetsk regions would be a strategic loss, weakening its defensive lines. Separately, Zelensky urged the media not to sensationalize the announced but not yet occurred visit to Kyiv by US real estate developers Roy Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, calling it disrespectful that they would go to Moscow but not Kyiv.
