Zelensky humiliated in White House

During a tense meeting at the White House, Volodymyr Zelensky was asked to leave following a heated argument involving Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

The confrontation escalated quickly, with strong words exchanged over U.S. support for Ukraine. Witnesses described the atmosphere as intense, with frustrations boiling over. The incident highlights ongoing divisions over America’s role in the war, with some pushing for continued aid while others advocate a shift in priorities.

The president of Ukraine received a lot of domestic popularity, and his car crash experience in the Oval Office caused a lot of dismay. Zelenskyy’s assertion that a peace agreement without security assurances was pointless and that Russia could not be trusted was also praised.

Trump accuses Zelensky of gambling with World War III

By Saturday, reports emerged that Trump was considering cutting off all military aid to Ukraine, accusing Zelenskyy of being “disrespectful” and “not ready for peace.”

Meanwhile, senior Ukrainian officials pushed back, warning that any ceasefire with Moscow would be meaningless without solid security guarantees, as it wouldn’t hold in the long run.

Kharkiv’s governor, Oleh Syniehubov, defended Zelenskyy, saying he had stood firm for Ukraine’s national interests despite facing “intense pressure” from the U.S. to accept a deal that heavily favored Russia and was close to surrender. “We only need just peace with security guarantees,” he emphasized.

Critics contend that Zelenskyy’s typically astute public relations skills failed him this time and that he might have dealt with Trump more gently. But according to the majority of Ukrainian analysts, Trump and his team purposefully set Zelensky up, luring him into a well-planned trap designed to undermine and humiliate him.

Many believe Trump had made up his mind to cut aid to Ukraine long before Friday’s disastrous meeting. Just last week, the U.S. president criticized Zelenskyy, calling him an unpopular “dictator without elections” and accusing him of “doing a terrible job.”

After a Trump-supporting reporter in the Oval Office questioned Zelenskyy on Friday about why he was not wearing a suit and implied that this was a sign of disrespect, pro-Zelenskyy remarks flooded Ukrainian social media platforms. In response, Zelenskyy said he would don one once Russia’s war was over.

Iceland’s Foreign Minister accused Trump of humiliating Ukraine’s President

Regarding their meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Iceland’s Foreign Minister has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, saying it appeared they were attempting to intentionally embarrass him.

After a heated exchange, Trump quickly fired Zelensky, accusing him of being disrespectful and ungrateful to the United States, which brought the leaders’ meeting to a tense conclusion. Later, officials canceled a planned joint press conference.

During the tense exchange, Trump accused Zelensky of “playing with the lives of millions” and “flirting with the idea of starting World War III.”

Iceland’s foreign minister condemned Trump’s remarks, calling them completely inappropriate given the dire situation both Zelensky and Ukraine are facing. “President Trump was sitting across from a man who has spent three years fighting—not just for his own survival and that of his family, who must remain in hiding—but for the survival and independence of all of Ukraine.”
