12. February Trump announced He spent a “long-lasting and highly productive phone call” with the path, and for their two countries to start peace talks in Saudi Arabia.
This led to the consolation of traditional American allys in Europe, including Ukraine, which was afraid to set up from private conversations.
Then, 19. February, Trump escalated Tensions by calling Zelensky “Dictator” for not holding war elections. Ukraine is below Martial Law As a result of an invasion, which prohibits check-out elections.
All the time, Trump pushed Ukraine to approve American ownership of his rare earth minerals, which include metals used in technological products. However, Ukraine, however, pushed due to lack of security conditions in the contract.
Relations between two leaders came to the boiling point on 28. February, when Zelenskyy visited the White House to negotiate mineral.
The press conference in the oval office has passed the UA Shouting matchWhere Trump berred Zelenskyy because it is not enough “grateful” to support the United States.
“Or will you have a deal or we’re out,” Trump Zelensky said, and at the same time I note, “Putin passed a lot with me.”

Nevertheless, journalists pressed Trump on whether his decision to stop exchanging intelligence with Ukraine allowed the path to use the moment of weakness.
Trump shouldered the proposal, saying that Russian attack was a natural answer to the situation. The attack is also located in the context of its negotiations with the path.

“And I think that someone in that position would work now. He wants to finish it, and I think Ukraine wants to finish it, but I don’t see him. They take a huge punishment. I don’t get it really.”
When asked if you should now offer more help of Ukraine to help defend themselves from such attacks, Trump once again accused Ukraine from rejection in peace negotiations.
“I need to know that they want to settle. I don’t know they want to settle. If they don’t want to settle, we’re out,” Trump said.
