Tensions over US-Russian relations raise concerns for Ukraine and its European allies.
Media sources report growing concern from Ukrainian and Western officials regarding the conciliatory tone adopted by the US President towards Russia recently.
Reports indicated that the US President’s efforts to improve relations with his Russian counterpart cast a shadow over the Ukrainian President’s visit to Washington, with this unease apparent during meetings with journalists.
European leaders expressed concern after the recent phone call between the two leaders, as the tone from the White House appeared more friendly, raising fears of a possible agreement serving Russia’s interests.
Earlier, a lengthy phone call took place between the two presidents, addressing various issues, including the Ukrainian crisis, where the Russian side affirmed its commitment to diplomatic solutions and presented a comprehensive view of the current situation.
Following this, the US President met with his Ukrainian counterpart in Washington, where reports indicated that the dialogue was frank, and the US President informed his Ukrainian counterpart that he would not receive advanced weapons.
Sources report that the US President formed the impression that the Ukrainian President is seeking to prolong the conflict, which negatively affected the atmosphere during their meeting.
