After the Zelensky-Trump Meeting, Where Do Ukraine-US-Europe Relations Stand?

After a contentious meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, how is Ukraine moving forward? 

The Details: On Saturday morning, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine and the US needed to be “honest and direct with each other,” adding that he wanted America to “stand more firmly” on their side. He stopped short of an apology but did say on Sunday that he is still prepared to sign the minerals deal with Washington. Zelensky also said that the end of the war with Russia was still “very, very far away.” Trump responded on Monday, “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!”

Europe's Plan: France and Britain have agreed to compose a “coalition of the willing” to secure a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. France suggested a partial one-month truce between Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky said he was aware of the plan but did not say whether he supported it. 

Is The US Embracing Russia? Voices on the left and right pointed out concerns about the US' warm approach to Russia and withdrawal from Europe. A Wall Street Journal (Center bias) writer said given the recent US foreign policy shifts, the bedrock of NATO has come into question. A Washington Post (Lean Left) writer pointed out that the American public may not be willing to accept the same concessions to Russia as the Trump administration intends to make.
