Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet Donald Trump on Tuesday in the Oval Office for around 90 minutes, beginning at 9:30am local time/4:30pm Kyiv. Their latest meeting comes amid what Zelenskyy told me he perceived to be a shift by Trump in Ukraine's favor.

“If our partners do not abandon Ukraine financially, if our soldiers continue holding the front, if every kilometre of Russian advance continues to cost them tens of thousands—and sometimes hundreds of thousands—of personnel, then the decisive struggle will take place in the skies,” Zelenskyy said.

I caught up with President Zelenskyy today at his office. He told me that one of Ukraine's goals with its long-range drone strikes is to terrify Putin and drive him out of Moscow. “The farther Putin is from Moscow, the closer the end of the war will be,” he said. www.ft.com/content/6ca8...

‘I’m fighting two wars. One against the Russians. And one inside myself.’ Ukraine is reshaping warfare through its use of drones. Yet human operators remain at the controls. For @ftweekend.com, I profiled one Ukrainian FPV drone pilot to examine the personal costs. www.ft.com/content/95f5...

A brief reprieve from the US-Israel-Iran war news to share some photos from Lviv, because the western Ukrainian city was absolutely glorious today, on this first day of spring. Signs point to the long, horrible winter and freezing cold being over. The Russian attacks, however, are likely to continue

In our interview, Zelenskyy urged the EU to stop prevaricating and to fix a date for Ukraine’s accession to the bloc. “I want a date. I am asking for it,” he said. “Let us not allow the next leaders or the next generation to face a situation where Russia blocks Ukraine’s EU membership for 50 years.”

Zelensky clearly annoyed with Steve Witkoff, who views the war as some sort of real estate transaction & pushes Kremlin talking points. Recently he pushed Kyiv to accept Putin's demand for the rest of the Donbas because "it was incorporated into [Russia's] constitution." Read Zelensky's comments:
