The US president has accused the Ukrainian leader of βdisrespectingβ Washington
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is not ready for peace as he sees Washingtonβs involvement in negotiations on the Ukraine conflict as a bargaining chip, US President Donald Trump has stated, following their meeting on Friday.
Trump made the remarks in a social media post after receiving Zelensky at the White house, where the two were expected to sign an agreement granting Washington access to Ukraineβs natural resources.
Zelenskyβs visit to the White House was cut short after he got into a heated exchange with Trump and US Vice President J.D. Vance. Trump accused Zelensky of βdisrespectfulβ behavior during the talks in the Oval Office.
