What happened in the White House with Zelensky shows that the U.S. doesn’t have a constant policy or permanent allies,’ Chatham House senior fellow and former Knesset member Ksenia Svetlova said

An influential Russian parliamentarian dismissed a summit of European leaders in London on Sunday for producing no plan to settle the war in Ukraine and said Kyiv's only hope for the future was an improvement in ties between Moscow and Washington.

The timing coincides with Trump’s shift in Russia policy. American and Russian officials met in Istanbul on Thursday for a second round of peace, according to media reports. Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly welcomed American companies to extract minerals from both Russia and territories Moscow has seized from Ukraine.

It was a weekend for the history books. What began with US President Donald Trump furiously berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House ended with a show of European unity in London and vows to wrestle negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war away from the US.

The second administration of President Donald Trump has continued its efforts to remake the federal government and implement "America First" policies.
