What was supposed to be a visit to the victorious White House by Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski to celebrate the signing of the metal rights deal between the United States and Ukraine transferred to an oval screaming office that ended with the vulgar president, full of President Donald Trump, was mocking Zelinski.
Zelinski left the White House less than an hour after the emotional explosion, as short talks were supposed to strengthen an economic relationship between Washington and Kiev and create a mechanism to pay billions in US military aid that has been sent to Ukraine since 2022.
Trump took his social position to the truth to announce the collapse in the talks, where he wrote that he and Zelinski were “a very useful meeting in the White House” with “many” they learned that “it cannot be understood without conversation under this fire and pressure.”
“It is surprising about what comes out through emotion, and she decided that President Zelinski is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he feels that our participation gives him a great advantage in negotiations. I don’t want an advantage, I want peace. He does not respect the United States of America in its dear oval office. Trump said:” He can return when he is ready for peace. ”
A White House official said Independent The metal deal was not signed.
The fire that led to the departure of the sudden Ukrainian leader – and what could be a sudden end to the US support for Ukraine – began on Friday after the US Vice President began a lecture of Zelinski for what he called the open lack of gratitude towards the United States for the help of his country to combat Russia in the forces.
Earlier in the day, Zellinski arrived at the White House and Trump welcomed him outside the western wing, where the American leader shook his hand and made a fun for the usual uniform of the Ukrainian president before accompanying him to the Oval Office.
As the correspondents saw, the two men talked about the metal deal discussed by the Zelinski government with Trump administration officials for several weeks, as Trump said it was an “honor” that Zelinski in the White House – his first visit to Washington since the change of the administration – described the work to reach an agreement as “very difficult” while it was “going well.” “
“We have a very fair thing, we look forward to entering and get some rare land, but we must look inside, which is a great commitment to the United States, and we appreciate working with you a lot, and we will continue to do so,” Trump said. The US President also praised that the armed forces in Ukraine were “very courageous” during the three -year -old war that started to invade Russia in February 2022.
However, the conversation took a turn after about 30 minutes of questions from journalists, as the issue turned to whether the agreement between the United States and Ukraine will include any security guarantees from the American side.
When Trump was asked by a Polish radio correspondent about fears that he was “compatible” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump replied that he “is not in line with anyone” except “the United States of America and to goods in the world.”
He also accused Zelinski of harboring Putin’s “huge hate” and said that this made it difficult to “conclude a deal” to end the war.
After that, Vans, who was silently sitting with Trump administration officials, decided to speak.
The former Senator in the 40 -year -old Ohio began mocking Trump’s ancestor, Joe Biden, and his blame for Putin’s decision to escalate the conflict with Ukraine by invading one year in Biden in 2022.
“For four years, the United States of America, we had a head of stopping in press conferences and talked strongly about Vladimir Putin, then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a large part of the country … We tried the Joe Biden Path,” Actions “, in addition,” if involved “by talking to Putin about a peace deal after years of efforts to isolate the Russian dictator by the West.
Zelensky responded by linking the history of the conflict and the multiple peace agreements that Putin violated.
“I fell with him, the deal that signed with him.
He moved to Vans, who said: “What kind of diplomacy, d.
“I am talking about the type of diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country.”
Then he began in a lecture of Zelinski regarding Trump’s contradiction to journalists, and the Ukrainian leader told “your lack of respect for the coming of the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media” and chanted Russian propaganda dialogues about Ukraine’s use of a military project.
“You should thank the president for trying to end this conflict,” he said.
After Zelinski called Verse to visit Ukraine and see the state of things on the front lines, Vans’s reaction was in response to Zelinski’s accusation of wandering “propaganda rounds” to visit American politicians.
Zola Zelinski also accused the campaign for his democratic opponents and Trump in the elections last year by visiting Pennsylvania’s swinging state-an ammunition factory location that was making shells designated for the United States to artillery or Ukrainian who are trying to employ.
At that point, Trump joined the argument in the full screaming in Zelinski, he told him: “You are now not in a very good position.”
“You do not have cards now with us … Millions of people believe that you are doing gambling with World War III. He said,” You are coaching with World War III, and what you do is very unresolved for the country. “
The president continued what became a screaming and full of conspiracy full of attacks about his democratic predecessor and Ibn Biden, a member of the pressure groups that served one day in the Board of Directors of Ukrainian Energy Company after Zelinski asked him about what would happen if Russia again took the firefighting agreement.
“What if you drop a bomb on your head now? Adam Chef, was a democratic fraud, and he had to go through. Order The whole is a fraud, and he had to bear it.
Then Trump added that he “enabled” Zelensky “to” be a strong man “and show him with Putin, who said” he wants to make a deal. “
“I don’t know if you can make a deal. The problem is, I enabled you to be a strong young man, and I do not think he will be a harsh man without the United States and your people is very brave, but you will conclude a deal or go out, and if we are outside it, you will fight it. I don’t think it will be beautiful, but you will fight it.”
“You don’t have cards, but as soon as we sign this deal, you are much better, but you do not act at all. This is not a nice thing.”
