Washington DC: A heated confrontation between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House broke out on Friday. The meeting that wanted to focus on a mineral agreement quickly became a public spectacle, with Trump insulting Zelenskyy because he was “disrespectful” to the USA and “played with the Second World War”. When Zelenskyy was involved in a verbal spit with Trump and his deputy JD Vance in the Oval Office, the Ukrainian ambassador in the United States was visibly in the escalation situation.

In the White House on Friday, the atmosphere in the Oval Office was charged with emotions when the two guides collected with Russia through the war. Zelenskyy questioned Trump's preference to Russia and warned against trusting the Russian President's promise. He claimed that the United States “should not compromise”, and described Putin as “murderer” and “terrorist”. Trump was again accused of being Zelenskyy for the support of US support for US support and the opportunities of Ukraine against Russia.

President Trump was increasingly excited with Zelenskyy's perceived lack of thanks for the significant support of the United States for Ukraine. In a devastating remark, Trump said: “We gave you 350 billion US dollars through this stupid president (Joe Biden). We gave you military equipment … If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.”

US officials said the Ukrainian leader had been asked.

He can come back if he is ready for peace,” said the US President.

Zelenskyy's answer

Zelenskyy, in turn, said Ukraine was looking for a “fair and permanent peace” and his country was on the way to reaching it. He also thanked the US government and the American people for their support.

Important political shift

The tensions cooked between the leaders when the United States conflict with Russia and marked a great political change. Recently found in Riyadh, where they agreed to improve their relationships, the first step in the end of the Russian war. However, Zelenskyy rejected the Riad talks how they were held without Kyiv's participation.

The diplomatic failure between Trump and Zelenskyy has enormous effects on the continuing conflict in Ukraine. Since the United States and Russia seem to focus on a peaceful solution, the position of Ukraine is becoming more and more precarious.
