Analysis Summary:
The article's claim that Zelenskyy is going to Washington to seek answers regarding Trump's change of stance on a ceasefire is partially supported by sources indicating a tense relationship and disagreements between the two leaders. However, the article lacks specific details and relies on the premise of a sudden abandonment of a ceasefire idea, which is not explicitly verified. The article exhibits moderate bias by framing Trump's actions as needing explanation from Ukraine's perspective.
