Historian Timothy Snyder has released his first video on Substack, offering a sharp critique of the recent meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former U.S. President Donald Trump, Friday morning. In his analysis, Snyder highlights what he sees as five critical failures on the part of the United States: hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence.
Snyder argues that the encounter, which ended without a signed agreement, revealed a troubling lack of respect toward Zelenskyy, who was attempting to safeguard Ukraine’s national interests. According to Snyder, the confrontation underscores a significant erosion of U.S. support for Ukraine at a pivotal moment in its ongoing struggle with Russia.
