Part 7/9:
In discussions, key figures within the Ukrainian government expressed frustration with the diplomatic impasses. The discord on how quickly Zelensky should return to the United States to finalize deals only exacerbated concerns regarding US commitment to Ukraine's defense. The lack of security guarantees from the US leaves Ukraine vulnerable, with Russia showing an eagerness to strike agreements with a potentially isolating Trump administration.
Moreover, there’s a growing critique of European nations not moving decisively to seize Russian assets. Such measures could finance military aid directly to Ukraine and lend critical support in their fight against aggression.
