  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern over the potential for the United States to align with Russia, stating that such a move would be a \"historic mistake.\" In an interview with NBC News, Zelensky urged President Trump to reconsider his decisions, emphasizing that such an alignment would not benefit either country or Ukraine. He lamented the decision to waive sanctions in a bill named after late Senator Lindsey Graham, praising Graham as a \"great supporter of peace and of Ukraine.\" Zelensky also noted that the United States had recently resumed intelligence sharing with Ukraine following a suspension.",
