Zelenskyy Turns to Diplomacy in a War With 'a Long Way to Go'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The French have also suggested a staged process, perhaps with a truce regarding strikes on energy infrastructure by both sides.
48% : " Russia has given no indication that it will accept any terms other than Ukrainian capitulation and permanent conquest of a large swath of Ukraine -- and Trump makes clearer by the day that his intent is to stand with Moscow. Ukrainians have insisted they will not lay down their arms unless they receive security guarantees, supported by the United States, that would prevent the Kremlin from regrouping and attacking again.
46% : "And for the sake of all of us standing together -- Ukraine, the whole of Europe, and necessarily America." But the Ukrainian leader still faces a monumental challenge in repairing his relationship with Trump and his advisers, as the American president made clear in a scathing social media post Monday afternoon.
38% : He added: "It is what I was saying, this guy doesn't want there to be Peace as long as he has America's backing." Once again, Trump seemed to be placing the burden of ending the war on Ukraine while saying he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants peace despite Moscow's continuing aggression.
28% : Zelenskyy's insistence on pushing for security guarantees was one of the things that apparently angered Trump.
26% : Seizing on Zelenskyy's suggestion that the path to peace would be long and difficult, Trump wrote on Truth Social: "America will not put up with it for much longer!"
22% : After a disastrous meeting with Trump on Friday, in which the American president and Vice President JD Vance berated him for being ungrateful, Zelenskyy received a show of support Sunday from Europe's democracies, which pledged to work with Ukraine to come up with a peace plan that it could then present to the United States.
21% : Since Trump spoke with Putin two weeks ago, there has been no letup of Russian attacks.
