Can Zelensky Trust Trump? 

“For President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, a lot is riding on how much he can trust President Trump,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump offered only vague assurances on Monday that the United States would play a role in guaranteeing Ukraine’s safety if Mr. Zelensky were to cut a deal with President Vladimir Putin of Russia to stop the fighting.”

Said Trump: “We’re going to make sure it works. And I think if we can get to peace, it’s going to work. I have no doubt about it.”

Bloomberg: “US and European officials started work on bolstering Ukraine’s military, part of a package of security guarantees that will open a path to a landmark meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy.”
