Volodymyr Zelensky is receiving a crash course in how to grovel for Donald Trump’s favor after the Ukrainian president’s disastrous Oval Office sit-down last week, according to a report.

His teachers are seasoned Trump-handlers: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, the New York Times reported. The two men are giving Zelensky advice on how most effectively to flatter Trump, inside sources told the Times.

Their advice comes after the dramatic shouting match between Zelensky, Trump, and Vice President JD Vance, which has led Trump to pause aid for Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.
