Zelensky Faces Uncertain Future After Tense Meeting with Trump**

The recent meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump has deepened concerns over U.S. support for Ukraine, prompting a shift towards European alliances in light of the ongoing conflict with Russia.**

Amidst ongoing tensions with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left a challenging meeting with President Trump on Friday, exacerbating already prevalent fears regarding future American support. The prospect of Trump securing a second term had stirred anxiety in Ukraine, but the blunt interactions during their meeting seemed to cement a stark reality: Ukraine may need to fight alone.

"This is not the clarity we hoped for," commented Phillips O’Brien, an expert in international relations, emphasizing that Ukraine’s reliance may now shift predominantly towards European nations. With Trump appearing less inclined to support Ukraine, many citizens—including political figures—expressed a newfound respect for Zelensky. They appreciated his poise under pressure and refusal to appease the American leader.

Maryna Schomak, a mother impacted by the conflict, articulated a sentiment shared by many, commending Zelensky’s dignified stance during the meeting. As anxieties grow over the future of the conflict, the specter of a prolonged battle without U.S. assistance looms large, further complicating an already dire situation.
