The Memo: Zelensky looks for way back from brink with Trump, to little avail

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky looks to be seeking a way back from the brink in his relationship with the U.S. — but he does not appear to be finding a receptive audience in President Trump.

That leaves doubt and suspicion shrouding the path ahead — even as some in the GOP express dismay at Trump's recent shift toward harsher treatment of Kyiv and positive language about Vladimir Putin's Russia.
