Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has few options but to draw U.S. President Donald Trump ’s ire against Vladimir Putin , analysts say.

In this war of attrition against Russia 's invasion, Ukraine 's position is poised to grow weaker as time goes on, experts say.

It's a rhetorical game of pingpong in which both Kyiv and Moscow try to outmaneuver the other vis-à-vis the other.

Russia 's position has remained mostly consistent: It kept repeating that it was ready for peace talks.

In March , Kyiv agreed to the U.S. proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire, which Putin rejected by imposing conditions impossible for Ukraine .

Zelenskyy has few options but to highlight Putin ’s disinclination to engage in meaningful talks.

For Ukrainian soldiers fighting along the 1,000-kilometer front line the theatricality of the political developments stood in harsh contrast with the grinding war.
