European leaders are shoring up support for Ukraine while the Trump administration is ramping up criticism of the country’s leader. It follows an Oval Office clash on Friday between Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump over how to approach peace talks with Russia. This weekend, Britain announced new aid for Ukraine at a European summit with Zelenskyy. The UK, France and Ukraine also said they're working on a ceasefire plan to present to the United States.Zelenskyy told reporters in London he is still ready to sign a minerals deal with the U.S., viewed as a first step toward broader peace talks with Russia.But after Friday's confrontation caused the signing to be canceled, White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz questioned whether the Trump administration would be able to work with Zelenskyy moving forward."We need a leader that can deal with us, eventually deal with the Russians and end this war and, if it becomes apparent that President Zelenskyy's either personal motivations or political motivations are divergent from ending the fighting in his country, then I think we have a real issue on our hands," Waltz said.Senator Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, said the Trump administration is acting as an "arm of the Kremlin.""It is a sad day in America when we are getting closer to Russia, a brutal dictatorship, and we are getting farther and farther away from democratic allies," Murphy told CNN’s "State of the Union" on Sunday. Waltz emphasized that both sides will have to compromise to end the war. For now, the specific details and timeline of a potential peace deal are unclear, but Waltz outlined some guiding principles on Sunday in his interview with CNN.Waltz said Ukraine will likely have to give up some territory, and Russia will likely have to make concessions on security guarantees. Waltz said that Europe needs to take the lead on security guarantees going forward. As for the United States, he said, "What type of support we provide or not is to be negotiated."The Trump administration has argued that talking about specific details is premature before both sides get to the negotiating table.But, on Sunday, Waltz said one thing is clear: they don't see Ukraine being a member of the NATO defense alliance, something Kyiv has advocated for and the Kremlin has opposed for years.
