The article discusses the strained relations between Ukraine and the US, particularly between President Volodymyr and former US . The escalated after tweet from Trump’s account triggered a highly negative reaction from Zelensky.

In an effort to mend relations, Zelensky proposed a bilateral ban the use of missiles, -range drones, bombs on and other civilian infrastructure, and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia would do the same. He also expressed gratitude to Trump and reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

However, experts argue that Trump’s response was lukewarm and that it is unclear whether he will take a more cooperative approach towards achieving peace in Ukraine. The US has not resumed military aid to Ukraine since March 4, despite Zelensky’s overture.

Analysts believe that Ukraine should set the resumption of military aid as a condition signing a mineral resource deal with the US, which would provide security guarantees and open up Ukrainian natural resources to joint investment by the two countries. However, it is unclear whether Trump will take a more cooperative approach towards achieving peace in Ukraine.

The article concludes that if Trump’s remains unwilling to maintain at least some level of support for Ukraine, Zelensky may be left with little option but to place his hope in Europe’s faltering efforts to keep afloat.
