Definitive break between Ukraine and the United States?

That's the question's everyone's asking following the violent altercation between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.

The Ukrainian President arrived in London on Saturday 1 March, the day after his ‘botched’ meeting with Donald Trump, to take part in the Ukraine and Security Summit. There, unlike during his visit to Washington, he was warmly welcomed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

After his humiliation at the White House, Volodymyr Zelensky was, it has to be said, able to find comfort in those who still claim to be his allies. First with Keir Starmer and then with the King of England. "You're more than welcome here. We will stand by you for as long as it takes," the British Prime Minister told a press conference.

Two rooms, two atmospheres

First lectured by Donald Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, then supported by his British allies and welcomed with open arms, the contrast is striking. If anyone wonders whether a return to Ukraine and the United States' relationship in the past is possible, Zelensky seems rather open, indicating that he's ready for future discussions as long as he's "invited to solve real problems". "I travelled 12 hours by train, then flew 11 hours because the President of the United States invited me. The United States is one of our main partners, and for me, it's a sign of respect to be at the White House when the President of the United States invites me," he told the press.

For his part, Trump said his Ukrainian counterpart could return to the White House "when he's ready for peace".
