On February 28, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced off in a tense Oval Office meeting over U.S. support for Ukraine. With Vice President JD Vance criticising Zelensky’s military draft policies and complaints about aid, Trump warned that U.S. support should not be taken for granted. The fallout, including the cancellation of a minerals deal and joint press conference, has left U.S.-Ukraine relations at a crossroads.

Prof. Olexiy Haran from the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, Kyiv, Dr Ndu Nwokolo from Abuja, and Gideon Chitanga from Johannesburg provide expert insights into the implications of this critical moment.
