Zelensky Urges Trump to Help Defend Ukraine Against Russia
Briefly

President Zelensky urged President-elect Trump to reinforce Ukraine against Russian aggression, highlighting the importance of U.S. leadership for global peace and stability.
Zelensky emphasized that a strong America and Ukraine, free from Russian threat, aligns with the interests of both nations, reflecting Reagan's 'peace through strength' doctrine.
Despite previously meeting Trump, Zelensky's appeal reflects concerns about Trump's skepticism toward Ukraine and potential military support cuts that could undermine Ukrainian sovereignty.
Trump's past statements and dealings regarding Ukraine raise alarms for many, as his admiration for autocratic leaders suggests a possible detachment from supporting democratic allies like Ukraine.
