Trump launches fresh attack on Zelensky
Ukrainians react after Donald Trump called Zelensky "a dictator without elections".
Donald Trump has posted a stinging denunciation of Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky in a growing war of words sparked by Washington's thaw in relations with Moscow. He claimed Mr Zelensky had talked the US into spending hundreds of billions of dollars for a conflict he could not win. Mr Trump called him "a dictator without elections" who had better move fast or he would not have a country left.
We get reaction from Ukrainian MPs and others inside the country. We also ask our correspondent in Washington how President Trump's comments are likely to go down there.
It’s three years this week since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. Three Ukrainian refugees share how they have coped with shifting their life.
