UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR Zelenskyy said he was counting on unity at home and in Europe as well as pragmatism from Washington, striking a conciliatory tone after US President Donald Trump gave him a public scolding.

Trump on Wednesday said Zelenskyy was a "dictator without elections" who should act quickly to secure peace or lose his country. It was hitherto unthinkable rhetoric from a US leader given Washington's role as a key ally of Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion three years ago.

The US president is pushing for a quick deal to end the Ukraine war and has alarmed Washington's European allies by leaving them and Ukraine out of initial talks with Russia and blaming Ukraine for the February 2022 invasion.
