Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Piers Morgan he feels Ukraine is losing a strong partner in Washington, calling it a 'pity,' and said yes, he does feel betrayed by Trump, though he framed it as more complicated than personal emotion. He pointed to a diesel supply deal Trump struck with Putin and an energy-sector truce announcement that Zelensky says he first learned about from the news.

Zelensky insisted Ukraine is not selling its country and that the war is about survival, not business, after Trump suggested Ukraine needs a new president who can 'make a deal.' He also called Elon Musk's restriction of Starlink access in Ukraine a mistake he believes will cost lives.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

When the fellow funding your defense makes side deals with the country attacking you and forgets to mention it, that's not an alliance wobbling, that's an alliance already gone. Trump keeps saying he wants peace while handing Moscow diesel and suggesting Kyiv needs new management, which is a strange way to treat a partner you claim to be neutral toward. Zelensky's complaint isn't dramatic, it's just arithmetic: you can't be an ally and a dealmaker with the other side at the same time.
