Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky's relationship appears to have fallen apart after years of calls and kind words.

US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky have entered a war of words after the US leader initiated talks with Russia about ending the conflict, but did not include Ukraine. After Zelensky said Trump was in a "disinformation space", Trump called Zelensky a "dictator" - a remark condemned by Kyiv's allies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday his clash with Donald Trump last week was "regrettable", that he was ready to work under the U.S. president's leadership to bring lasting peace,

President Donald Trump made clear in public comments Monday, which came after weekend discussions with six European leaders, that he remained interested in resurrecting the compact, just three days after berating and humiliating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump has hinted at ending U.S. support as Zelenskyy has said that a peace deal with Russia “is still very, very far away.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for years of American backing in a statement ending a tumultuous week of transatlantic diplomacy.
