Ukranians voiced fears for their country's future last night as Volodymyr Zelensky prepared to meet Donald Trump at the White House, urging Europe not to 'sell' them out.
Amid anger at seeing the red carpet rolled out for Vladimir Putin in Alaska, many citizens spoke of growing concern that tomorrow's talks in Washington could result in catastrophe for Ukraine.
Those fears were heightened further yesterday when Mr Trump said the country should make a deal with Putin to end the war because 'Russia is a very big power, and they're not'. He then left the White House to play a round of golf.
Kyiv's allies have welcomed Mr Trump's efforts but vowed to back Ukraine and tighten sanctions on Russia. European leaders have also been invited to attend tomorrow's talks.
The red-carpet treatment in Alaska on Friday and the lack of any concrete decisions for Ukraine felt like a betrayal for many who have borne enormous suffering since Russia's full-scale invasion.
