President Zelensky said he feels betrayed and accused Trump of siding with Russia, criticizing the US-Russia diesel deal as a tactical win for Putin and warning that disruptions to Starlink and intelligence sharing endanger Ukraine. He said it is 'painful' when Trump 'chooses another side' and rejected calls to step down, insisting any future Ukrainian president would defend the country rather than accept Putin's terms. Trump defended his approach, saying he avoids mocking Putin because he must negotiate a deal with him. The Financial Times reported that EU leaders plan to privately urge Zelensky to tone down his public criticism of Trump, reflecting friction within the Western coalition over how to manage the US president.
