04.03.2025 ⢠Day Zelensky Bent The Knee
â¨
Trump's suspension of military aid to Ukraine dominated coverage, evolving from initial shock reports to broader implications. By morning, Ukrainian MPs warned of catastrophic consequences while EU chief von der Leyen announced plans for âŹ800bn defense spending increase.
JD Vance's dismissal of British military capabilities sparked diplomatic tension, with veterans and politicians reacting to his "random country" comment. This controversy intersected with debates about Starmer's promise of British troops in Ukraine.
The evening marked Zelensky's dramatic shift in stance, expressing regret over the White House confrontation and declaring readiness to work under Trump's "strong leadership." Reports emerged of an imminent minerals deal between US and Ukraine, while Trump prepared to address Congress amid speculation of a "made-for-TV" breakthrough announcement.
