> After a bitter rift with Donald Trump fueled fears in Ukraine that the US president had again sided with Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the dispute in a CNN interview. He said there was nothing personal between them and warned that drawing close to Vladimir Putin would only make Putin stronger. US-Ukraine ties have sharply deteriorated in recent weeks.
