Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi was in Brussels this week to discuss the ongoing war with European leaders. "That's my answer," Zelensky said Friday, when asked by reporters if he felt Trump was turning him into a "bungler" to escape his problems ahead of the November midterm elections.

"I'm pretty sure that's what will happen," Zelensky added. After gas, sanctions related to other areas will be lifted. Eventually, this trend will spread to the banking system, certain individuals and the chemical industry."
