The recent meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy stirred diverse reactions, but many Ukrainians remain firmly in support of their president. According to Luke Harding, those he spoke with convey a strong resolve against making elections or concessions, echoing sentiments from the early days of Russia's invasion in 2022. The military is focused on their ongoing fight, equating their struggle with the broader European stakes. As perceptions shift, Ukrainians acknowledge that their security lies more with European partners than the US, reflecting a desire for long-term solutions without loss of territory.
Ukrainians largely support President Zelenskyy and remain united against external threats, showing reluctance for concessions in peace talks, reflecting a collective resilience.
Many in Ukraine's military see their struggle against Russia as unresolved, insisting on maintaining territorial integrity and dismissing premature peace agreements.
As relations with the US evolve, there's a growing awareness among Ukrainians that they must rely more on European allies for future security and stability.
Harding emphasizes the stark contrast between Trump's pessimism regarding Ukraine and the more optimistic outlook held by many Ukrainians regarding their future.
