Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has landed in the United States, where he will meet with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, and sign a critical minerals deal.
As Kiev works to regain US support to fight the Russian invasion, Zelensky, who benefited from billions of dollars in American weapons and moral support from the Biden administration, is facing a completely different stance from Trump, writes A2 CNN.
The Republican president has said he wants to quickly end the three-year war, improve relations with Moscow and recover US money spent supporting Ukraine.
Trump has also adopted a much less committed stance on European security, for which the US has been an indispensable partner since World War II, writes A2 CNN.
The minerals deal negotiated in recent days would open up Ukraine's vast mineral wealth to the United States, but it does not include American security guarantees, which is a disappointment for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russia has appointed its new Ambassador to the United States. Direct flights between Moscow and Washington will also begin.
