Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called into question the U.S.' commitment to its allies in Europe. Zelenskyy said President Donald Trump's first act as president — the signing of a raft of executive orders on a raft of domestic issues — suggested his administration would not be overly concerned with Europe's future.

Ukraine is ready to work with the new US presidential administration to achieve peace. This is an opportunity that must be seized, according to an address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The head of the Ukrainian state emphasized that Trump is a strong individual.
