Politoco Europe's phrasing implies Zelensky did something wrong. Zelensky said from the start, he wouldn't sign away minerals/country wealth without a security guarantee yet Trump/Vance thought they could coerce him anyway & it's why Vance created the damage, NOT Zelensky. Phrasing is important!

A 1994 contract ensures that Trump and Starmer take all actions necessary to protect the sovereign boundaries of Ukraine. Ukraine paid for this protection by agreeing to give up its Nuclear arsenal and now we have trump seeking to be paid again. Hardly surprising Zelensky can’t trust trump
