Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky

Tensions in the relationship between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump seem higher than ever.

24 hours after the harsh language with which Zelensky and Trump addressed each other on social media, an ultimatum has come from the US to the Kiev leader.

It was White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz who called on Ukraine to drop its criticism of the US, which is trying to reach a mutually acceptable agreement to end the war.

"They need to tone it down and take a good look and sign this deal ," Waltz told Fox News, referring to a critical deal that hands Ukraine's minerals to Washington.

"The resistance from Ukraine to the agreement and the criticism of the way Trump is conducting the peace talks is simply unacceptable," Waltz stressed, underlining that one must take into account everything the United States has done for Ukraine.

At the same time, Waltz believes that the two sides can resolve their differences and reconcile because according to him, Trump "also told him how much he loves the Ukrainian people."

Among other things, Waltz denied that US allies and Ukraine were not consulting.

“There’s a term for this in diplomacy. It’s called ship diplomacy, because bringing everyone to the table hasn’t worked in the past ,” he said.

Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky met today with the United States envoy for the war in Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, but the joint press conference of the two senior officials was canceled at the request of Washington, Zelensky's office announced.

Ahead of the meeting with Kellogg and following President Trump's harsh criticism of the Ukrainian leader on Wednesday, the latter said he was preparing to work with the US towards "a lasting peace" with Russia.

"It is essential for us that the meeting (with Keith Kellogg) and our overall cooperation with the United States be constructive," Zelensky said in his evening address to the nation.

"Together with the United States and Europe, peace can be more secure and that is our goal ," he added.

On Wednesday, Trump and Zelensky traded accusations at a distance. The US president called Zelensky an "unelected dictator" while the Ukrainian leader accused Trump of living in a "disinformation space" influenced by Russia.

As the fate of the three-year Russia-Ukraine war remains unclear, Zelesky fears that Trump is trying to end the Russian offensive, on terms more favorable to Moscow than Kiev.
