Zelensky ‘Acted Like a Crazy Person’ Over US Deal | Tucker Carlson Slams Ukrainian President

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was slammed by Tucker Carlson for behaving “like a crazy person” during failed talks over a resource deal with the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed Zelensky derailed the agreement thrice, despite American aid keeping Ukraine afloat. The deal would have granted the U.S. first access to Ukraine’s natural resources. Carlson criticized Zelensky for his ungrateful attitude and dramatic behavior in front of Trump.

Macron To Lead EU Talks with Russia? | Paris Seen as Key Voice for Ukraine Peace Bid From EU

French President Emmanuel Macron may soon take a leading role in representing the EU’s interests in potential talks with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, according to a report by The Telegraph. While UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out engagement, Macron is reportedly open to negotiation “when the time is right.” With Washington’s efforts ongoing and Trump hesitant, Europe’s "coalition of the willing" is eyeing Paris to spearhead talks.
