Part 6/9:
Trump’s critique of Zelenskyy’s approach touched on an essential element of diplomatic relations: recognition and appreciation. He indicated that by not expressing gratitude, Zelenskyy had overplayed his hand, potentially compromising future support for Ukraine. The conversation underscored that, in the realm of international relations, perceptions often influence negotiations profoundly. The call was for Zelenskyy to switch his narrative from demands to one that reflects appreciation for the support received during Ukraine's ongoing struggle against Russian aggression.
