Ukrainians have voiced their anger and frustration following a recent summit between U.S. and Russian presidents, where Donald Trump extended a red-carpet welcome to Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The meeting failed to yield an agreement on a truce in the ongoing Ukraine war, leaving many feeling betrayed.

Trump suggested Ukraine negotiate peace with Russia, contradicting U.S. support for a ceasefire. In response, Ukrainian soldier 'Dzha' and others voiced concerns over the continued violence and lack of support from former allies. Meanwhile, the conflict persists, with Russian claims over southeastern Ukraine regions remaining contentious.

The summit's outcome, including Trump's perceived cordiality towards Putin, has sparked outrage among Ukrainians. Some criticized Trump for treating Putin with respect, highlighting Putin's ongoing indictments by the International Criminal Court. Images of the summit, juxtaposed with scenes from war-torn Ukraine, have further fueled public discontent.
