War has changed Volodymyr Zelensky - but now is the time for him to transform again.

He decided to remain in Kyiv as Russian troops closed in in 2022 , which meant Ukraine would go on to defend itself to this day .

But with the unpredictability of Trump 's second term - not least following the pair's Oval Office bust-up in February - he may now have to change again.

Zelensky 's relationship with US President Trump is 'like a rollercoaster', says Volodymyr Fesenko .

The pair met in the Oval Office five months after the war broke out in Ukraine .

Ukraine 's president accused of "not showing enough gratitude" and "playing with World War Three " But official view from some is that the meeting was not a calamity.

Ukrainians rallied around Zelensky after the Oval Office , almost like they took it as a personal insult of Ukrainian statehood.

Some political experts, like Ms Zolkina , do not think this is a certainty.

Mr Prystaiko argues if the Americans wanted him to be replaced "they've shot themselves in the foot".
