Zelenskiy said in an interview that it was painful when Trump chose another side, and that he felt a sense of betrayal.

He said it was a pity to lose a strong partner, while also saying the situation is complex.

Zelenskiy stressed that Ukraine is not for sale and that the war is about survival and lives rather than business.

A separate report said Zelenskiy visited London on Wednesday and received strong backing from Prime Minister Andy Burnham and King Charles after tensions with Trump sharpened.

More context

That report also said Zelenskiy discussed problems with Starlink services and intelligence sharing, and reiterated Ukraine’s reliance on the U.S. partnership.

Britain announced a £45 million surface-to-air missile package, including £10 million fast-tracked, and Burnham called for continued economic pressure on Moscow.
