President Donald Trump's Oval Office thrashing of Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy has laid bare the limits of a full-court press by America's allies aimed at reshaping Trump's determination to end Russia's invasion even if the terms are not to Ukraine's liking.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron. They discussed Macron's visit to the United States, Zelenskyy mentioned this during his evening address.
The president on Sunday named Dan Bongino, a podcaster and former Fox News host, as deputy FBI director to serve under newly confirmed Director Kash Patel. Trump said Monday he will meet soon with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Leaders from both nations — President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer â€” met with Trump in the last two weeks.
European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, voiced strong support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after his clash with US President Donald Trump at the White House.
