A planned news conference between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump’s Ukraine envoy was abruptly canceled on Thursday. The cancellation came as political tensions escalated between the two countries over strategies to end the almost three-year war with Russia.
The press event, which was supposed to feature statements from Zelenskyy and retired U.S. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, was altered at the last minute. The U.S. side requested the change, according to Ukrainian presidential spokesman Serhii Nikiforov.
