Zelensky's diplomatic rollercoaster
From the explosive Trump meeting to a new deal with Europe.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been on a diplomatic rollercoaster in the last few days. His meeting with Donald Trump descended into argument and accusation on Friday. Then, he was greeted with open arms by European leaders at a summit in London. Following that meeting, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a new plan for Europe鈥檚 defence of Ukraine 鈥� but said it needs US support to succeed. So, where do this hectic series of events leave Zelensky? Is his relationship with Trump permanently damaged? And does he have any cards left to play?
On this episode, presenter Sumi Somaskanda speaks to the 大象传媒鈥檚 diplomatic correspondent James Landale and the 大象传媒's Daniel Wittenberg, who was in the Oval Office for the meeting between Trump and Zelensky.
