A disaster in the White House for Volodymyr Zelensky—and for Ukraine 

J.D. Vance set a trap for the Ukrainian president, who declined to flatter Donald Trump

After a full-blown shouting match in front of the television cameras—with Donald Trump and his vice-president, J.D. Vance, furiously accusing the Ukrainian leader of being ungrateful and of risking a third world war—Mr Zelensky will return home more embattled than ever. Hopes for a peace deal seem more distant than ever.
