💨 Abstract

This news article describes a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2025. The meeting was criticized by Ukrainians, who feel betrayed as Trump welcomed Putin warmly while ignoring the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against the Russian leader. Many Ukrainains expressed sorrow and disappointment as Ukraine continues to suffer from years of war and destruction due to Russia's invasion, with suggestions that the visit boosted Putin’s international standing but did not benefit Ukrainian interests.
