Chapter 1: How did Zelenskyy confront Trump on the anniversary of Russia's invasion?
President Zelensky of Ukraine delivered a rude awakening to Donald Trump yesterday from Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv. Here's what went down yesterday marked the three-year anniversary of Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine.
So the day began with Donald Trump trying to assert his dominance over Ukraine by announcing that he was bringing the United States into an access of evil that was joined by Russia, Belarus, Hungary, and North Korea.
and all of those nations including the united states opposed a united nations resolution condemning russia for its unlawful invasion of ukraine three years ago but president zielinski was prepared president zielinski surrounded himself in kiev with other world leaders who he invited on that three-year anniversary of Russia's unlawful invasion.
And President Zelensky had a plan to checkmate Donald Trump. You see, the European leaders then sent French President Emmanuel Macron to go to Washington, D.C., to basically called Donald Trump out to his face in front of the world media there at the White House.
French President Emmanuel Macron like shook Donald Trump's hand super hard and then would fact check Donald Trump when Trump would say all of the lies about Putin and say all of the lies about Zelensky. So they flanked Donald Trump by sending Emmanuel Macron to the United States. And then you had Zelensky flanked by the world leaders in Kyiv, in Ukraine,
standing up to Vladimir Putin and sending a strong and powerful message. So here is what Zelensky said during this meeting where he's surrounded by the leaders of all of these world democracies. Here, play this clip.
The war continues against Ukraine. And therefore, Ukraine must be at the negotiation table. Along with Europe, Volodymyr Zelensky, the strategic target of Russia is Europe itself. the European way of life and thus its security. And Europe's fate cannot be decided without Europe.
Ukraine, Europe together with America, we need to be at the negotiation table opposite Russia so that the necessity for peace is not talked over again with promises of normalization, reset or reconciliation.
Here's President Zelensky again, let's play it.

Chapter 2: What was Trump's controversial announcement regarding Ukraine?
Here's another clip of President Zelenskyy.
On February 24, 2025, three years after the start of Putin's three-day special military operation, Ukraine is alive, fighting, and our country has more friends in the world than ever before. Volodymyr Zelensky, no one in the world believes Russia's lies about our state, our people, and even those who unfortunately have become accomplices of Russia in the war, who lie together with it.
They all understand whom and why they support.
Then President Zelensky talked about his support for Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. Watch this.
Tell us how much he likes Canada. I love Canada. And I really appreciate that we have such relations with you, Justin, and you helped a lot and a lot of your people helped us at the very beginning of the war.
By the way, Canada has the largest population of individuals from Ukraine who migrated out of uh ukraine um so there is this also very special bond between canada and ukraine here's what uh president zielinski said about donald trump though when he was asked about trump play this clip my relationship with president trump it's never was in such best way
you improve it can you mend it you think our countries have strategic relationship and we are partners and uh i think it's not in our rights like presidents to lose partnership between our countries and that's why for me is very important support of the president and support of Senate Congress of your two parties. But first of all, support of your people. And I count on it very much.
And I'm thankful that we have it.
Now, through all of these clips, you'll see Zelensky standing up to Donald Trump. And as I mentioned before, you then had the French President Emmanuel Macron go to the White House and then kind of fact-check Donald Trump to his face. Here's an example of that. Let's play the clip.

Chapter 3: How did Zelenskyy and European leaders respond to Trump's actions?
well we're all we're negotiating everything and everything's on the table and we'll see if we can get some land back and we'll see you've got a lot of different things while that meeting was happening in kiev you had all of these countries in europe and canada and australia elsewhere just announcing these massive aid packages to ukraine and also saying there's not going to be a deal unless you allow europe in these negotiations unless you allow ukraine in these negotiations
and we're doubling down and tripling down and quadrupling down whatever it takes europe canada elsewhere they said we're standing with ukraine i want you to watch this as well this is from the floor of the united states house of representatives here's congresswoman ballant saying, I think this was such a powerful speech where she goes, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
You've got Donald Trump and a United States president trying to form alliances with like, with dictators. What the hell? Here, play this clip.
And now the United States stands with Russia and North Korea against Ukraine and all of our allies in Europe. It's sick. We are standing with dictators and against our allies.
I never thought I would see the day when our president would be a puppet for a- And then just so you see like French president Emmanuel Macron like babysitting Donald Trump, here they are sitting together and you've got Donald Trump talking about like robbing Fort Knox for gold, play this clip.
We're actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there.
Because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tons of gold. You know, and the United States propaganda machine was flummoxed. They were perplexed. I mean, here's Kayleigh McEnany, like, not even sure. Like, she's like, what are my talking points supposed to be? Oh, let's just say this is part of a brilliant negotiating strategy. Here, play this clip.
might be some strategy to that. I do think there's a quote method to the madness of buttering up a dictator who very much enjoys that to then find some sort of deal that is friendlier on your terms than maybe it would have been.
Yes, I think it's not part of a brilliant negotiation.
