Eloquent response.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has reacted with notable irony to American leader Donald Trump's words about what Russia believes Ukraine's future should be. The episode took place during a press conference after talks between the two heads of state in Florida.

"Putin wants to see Ukraine succeed," the White House chief said.

While Trump was speaking, Zelensky listened attentively, nodding occasionally, but at the moment when the phrase was uttered, his reaction was particularly revealing. The Ukrainian president raised his eyebrows for a moment, followed by an ironic smile on his face, which observers interpreted as a silent commentary on what he had heard.

This facial expression looked much more eloquent than words and made clear Zelensky's attitude toward this interpretation of Moscow's position.
