Inside the extraordinary Oval Office showdown that could cost Ukraine the war — and its future
ABCIt's hard to imagine how it could have gone better for Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy claimed Trump was living in a "disinformation space" and had effectively internalised Putin's talking points. But at about the 40-minute mark he intervened to attack former president US Joe Biden and support Trump's repeated claim that the war in Ukraine would never have occurred if he'd been in charge at the time. Trump wanted a deal to allow his country access to Ukraine's critical minerals, while Zelenskyy desperately wanted security guarantees. History says that could be a big mistake Photo shows Russian President Vladimir Putin smiles The new US president has made it clear he would rather negotiate with Moscow than Kyiv when it comes to ending the war in Ukraine, and some say there's good reason to be worried about that.
