How it started
What happened
Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with NATO allies in Turkey to strategize an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Analysis of public sentiment shows that Ukrainian net approval of U.S. leadership has fallen significantly, dropping from +3 points during Joe Biden's presidency to -72 points, according to one report. This shift suggests Volodymyr Zelenskyy may be less concerned about rejecting potential demands from Donald Trump.
