"He needs to focus on the deal." Trump responded sharply to Zelensky. The consequences of their new quarrel are being felt in Kyiv

US President Donald Trump called on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to focus on concluding a peace agreement with Russia rather than discussing it, comparing Zelensky's position with that of Vladimir Putin, who, according to Trump, wants more peace. Zelensky responded that he was ready for elections subject to a 60-day truce, but the Kremlin proposed a ceasefire only on election day. There are growing tensions between Kiev and Washington, including Ukraine's possible loss of US support in the form of Patriot missiles, access to Starlink and intelligence data.
