The morning media coverage focused on the aftermath of Trump-Zelenskyy's White House confrontation, with European leaders expressing solidarity while Russia celebrated. By noon, President Duda broke his silence, advising Zelenskyy to return to negotiations while emphasizing America's unique capacity to halt Russian aggression.
The political discourse split between Tusk warning about Russian interests and conservative voices criticizing Zelenskyy's approach. Trump's advisor revealed they had warned the Ukrainian delegation about the meeting's risks. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy flew to London, where he secured a new support agreement with PM Starmer.
The evening brought reports of Polish intelligence warning about GRU operations in Europe, while debate intensified about European military capabilities without US support. The mineral rights agreement, central to negotiations since February 19, remained unsigned.
