President Trump questions US support for Ukraine as Zelensky reports improved intelligence sharing

President Trump said the United States has received "absolutely nothing back" from its support for Ukraine except grief, death and monetary loss, and added that Kyiv should find a new president. He also urged President Zelensky to make a deal with Russia, comments that were made on the same day Zelensky met U.S. representatives in Oslo.

At a press conference in Oslo, President Zelensky thanked the United States for recent improvements in intelligence sharing, saying the early-warning system on Russian strikes "works now" and is vital for protecting civilians, especially children. He also noted ongoing restrictions on the Starlink internet network used by Ukrainian forces.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected accusations that Washington was withholding intelligence, calling the claims "scandalous." White House officials said there have been no changes to the intelligence-sharing arrangement.

European leaders, including Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb, called for a peace process that includes the United States, Ukraine and Russia. Støre said Europe must be at the table, while Stubb described the talks as making "genuine progress" on both long-term and short-term issues such as air defence and partial ceasefires.

President Zelensky reiterated Ukraine’s willingness to negotiate and emphasized that, although the country is not losing the war, it is losing people due to Russian attacks. He urged partners, including the United States, to continue assistance to end the conflict.
