Zelensky's global PR tour has made him one of the most obnoxious political figures in recent memory, says Eugyppius, and his recent train wreck of a meeting with Trump will have historians dissecting it for decades.
Donald Trump told Volodymyr Zelensky to "come back when he is ready for peace" after a White House meeting between the two leaders descended into a shouting match.

Donald Trump appears to have blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion of the country three years ago, telling Zelensky "You should never have started it" and dismissing his anger at being cut out of peace talks.
A document reported by Ukrainian media to be Trump's 'Peace Plan for Ukraine' has been leaked and includes a ceasefire by Easter, the ceding of land to Russia and no NATO membership.
Humza Yousaf has accused Foreign Secretary David Lammy of racism for meeting with an Israeli minister as part of efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, saying he must deem Arab lives of lower value.
Conservative MP Nick Timothy frets that Net Zero makes Britain vulnerable to sabotage by China and Russia. This misses the point, says Ben Pile. With self-harming policies like Net Zero we're our own worst enemy.
It isn't so much that the Tories are getting more popular as that Labour is getting less so. Which illustrates a more general predicament for the Tories and any other party that might have aspirations to government.
