What did Ukrainians make of the public spat last Friday between US President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy? How does the Ukrainian military perceive the implications of an open rift between the US and Ukraine, and by extension, Europe?

Radio Schuman reached out to Euronews' Ukrainian correspondent, Sasha Vakulina, to provide insight into reactions from on the ground.

The remarks deeply shocked Ukraine, where many have endured three years of war and lost loved ones in battle. Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington aimed to secure a mineral deal establishing a US-controlled, though it lacked clear security guarantees against Russian aggression.

His insistence on such guarantees underscores Ukraine’s concern that a ceasefire alone would be insufficient for lasting protection.

Also today, Radio Schuman touches on migration trends in Europe.
