Ukrainians Say They Feel Betrayed by Trump and U.S.
Briefly

Ukrainians are growing increasingly disillusioned with the United States and President Trump's remarks following his blame of Ukraine for the ongoing war. This sentiment was palpable at a Kyiv memorial where volunteers like Nataliia Klymyuk and Marina Ivashyna reflected on personal losses and the perceived abandonment by Western leaders. Klymyuk's daily commitments to honoring fallen soldiers highlight the deep emotional toll of the conflict, while Ivashyna's grief illustrates the pervasive impact of the war on families, as faith in negotiations wavers amid shifting geopolitical alliances.
Klymyuk expressed that Trump's remarks, where he blamed Ukraine for the ongoing violence, felt like a 'blatant betrayal' to many Ukrainians.
With her father's death in the war and a missing husband, Ivashyna's tears exemplified the growing despair and distrust among Ukrainians regarding negotiations.
