Washington: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was seen storming out of the White House on Friday after blow up with Trump and Vice President JD Vance in front of the press at the Oval office. Trump-Zelenskyy meeting turned into a heated exchange after the former found Ukrainian counterpart being disrespectful towards the United States when they were discussing the war.
As both – Trump and Zelenskyy – started talks on Russia-Ukraine which was also joined by Vice President JD Vance, Trump lambasted at Zelenskyy that he was not getting ready for ceasefire knowing he was losing, his soldiers were dying, he's not going to win the war and was not being thankful to United States which stood with his country and gave billions of dollars to Kyiv.
Trump accused Zelenskyy of playing his cards with the United States, even when he was not in a position to dictate because he's losing the war.
The President warned Zelenskyy to either make a deal to end the war or the United States will be pulling out and if they do so, then Ukraine will have to fight this out alone with Russia.
