The US and Ukraine are discussing a “mega deal” for Washington to purchase battle-tested drones from eastern Europe in exchange for American heavy weaponry.

"Ukraine has two enemies, two Vladimir: Zelensky and Putin," the publication quotes an unnamed Ukrainian ex-minister who once ardently supported Zelensky.

Although few new faces are entering higher office, the shifting seats signal Kyiv’s efforts to woo Washington.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not ready for compromises” to end his brutal war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told The Post in an exclusive interview on Wednesday — but President Trump has the power to bring him to his knees by speeding up tough sanctions that could cause a “social explosion” in Russia.

An announcement by the Ukrainian president that he will seek to replace the prime minister with a loyalist came as the country faces battlefield setbacks and a souring mood.

Ms Svyrydenko took over as prime minister from Denys Shmyhal on Thursday after her appointment was confirmed and voted through by the Ukrainian parliament. The outgoing prime minister Shymhal will take over as Ukraine’s defence minister in his new role.

First of all, we are the choice of our people … and we definitely share the same values with our people,” Zelensky said of the similarities between himself and Trump.
