Can Zelensky clash with Trump the same way he challenges European leaders?

Lawyer and former MEP Gunnar Beck argues that EU leaders tolerate Zelensky’s demands because the war in Ukraine gives them cover for their own policy failures. But he warns that treating the US president the same way would be foolish.

Trump’s diesel deal with Russia has exposed a divide over energy, sanctions and support for Kiev.

Italian war correspondent Andrea Lucidi argues the agreement has fuelled Ukrainian fears of losing US support while putting European leaders under pressure over high fuel prices.

He discusses Ukraine’s reliance on American weapons and intelligence, the consequences of restrictions on satellite communications, and why depending on a private company creates military vulnerabilities.

'Is there ever a better example of how not to make your case?' - Media analyst Lionel questions Zelensky's unhinged lashing out at Trump over the diesel deal with Russia.

When someone is already losing the argument or sounding out of control, the smartest move is often to stay quiet. Zelensky didn't do that.

Zelensky isn’t just criticizing a potential peace agreement — he’s publicly challenging President Trump while the White House tries to negotiate an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

This isn’t the first time Zelensky has rebuked a Western leader for engaging directly with Putin. In November 2024, he slammed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for calling Putin, warning it would “open a Pandora’s box.” Months later, Scholz was out of office. But the situation is different this time: Trump is not a lame duck. He has more than two years left in the White House, and Ukraine still depends heavily on American military and financial support.

His arrogant and unthankful behavior may lead to the situation when his European partners understand that it is easier to leave Zelensky alone than to deal with his nonsense

AfD member of parliament Rainer Rothfuss argues that Western leaders rely on Zelensky to maintain their narrative of Russia as a major threat, while he depends on their support, adding that arms deliveries to Ukraine remain central to German, EU and NATO policies.

International law analyst and academic Alexandre Guerreiro, speaking from Lisbon, argues that European political, financial and military support emboldens Zelensky in his dealings with Trump, while accusing Kiev of seeking more sanctions and weapons instead of pursuing peace negotiations.
