1:35:38Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump’s social media post denouncing Zelenskiy as “a modestly successful comedian” and “a dictator” marks an all-but-final rejection of Ukraine as a full partner in negotiations that Trump has initiated with Russia to end the war that began with President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of his neighbor three years ago. Trump abandons years of American support for Ukraine, as he prepares to meet with Putin as soon as this month to negotiate a deal to end the war. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer repeated his support for Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a call with the Ukrainian president on Wednesday. Starmer “stressed the need for everyone to work together,” according to a readout of the call issued by Downing Street, and said it was “perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War II.” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated said “there must be no decision over the heads of Ukraine,” while Starmer said he was prepared to put troops on the ground as part of a peacekeeping force.
