Donald Trump abroncted Volodimir Zelenski on Friday and threw him out of the White House after a verbal altercation in the oval office because “It is not prepared“For peace with Russia.
The meeting between the US president and his Ukrainian counterpart began quite well and ended badly: without the signing of an agreement that would give Washington access to Ukrainian minerals, or press conference.
Trump, who presumes his proximity to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, gave him a handshake before joking about his military style outfit.
But in the Oval Office, the US President asked Ukraine to accept “concessions”
Zelenski asked not to compromise with the Russian president, whom he describes as “killer”, And he showed photos of the war started three years ago, after Russia invaded his country.
Suddenly the tone changed. Vice President JD Vance intervened, who opted for the “diplomacy”
“Disrespectful”
Zelenski, striving to remain calm, expressed his disagreement and argued that Putin, after having annexed Crimea in 2014, never fulfilled his word about Ukraine.
The comment enraged JD Vance. Accused him of being “disrespectful“And he reproached him to force”to the conscripts“To fight in the front.
The Ukrainian Head of State tensed. “Have you ever been in Ukraine?”He asked.
JD Vance accused him of proposing a visit “propaganda”
Zelenski tried to defend himself by saying that the United States will end up feeling the effects of war even if he separates an ocean from Europe.
And this is where Donald Trump jumped.
“Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel”He protested.
The head of state of the first world power gestured and raised his voice.
Zelenski remained sitting, with his arms crossed. Sometimes he arched his eyebrows.
“You get in a very bad position. You don’t have the cards”In his hand, Trump rebuilt him.
“Third World War”
“You are playing with the risk of a third World War and what you are doing is missing respect for this country”Trump said.
The trifulca continued, before the stunned look of journalists.
“Did you even thank?”, The Vice President intervened.
Zelenski tried to put a trick.
When Donald Trump told him that without American military aid the war would end “in two weeks”, The Ukrainian Head of State, exasperated, released:“In three days. That’s what I heard from Putin”
The US president gave the final lunge threatening his guest: “His people are very brave, but or reach an agreement or leave them alone.”
Later on his social truth network he was blunt: “He is not prepared for peace (…) He lacked respect for the United States in his precious oval office. Can return when you are prepared for peace”
In the social network X, Zelenski gave the “Thanks to the president, the Congress and the United States people” “Ukraine needs a fair and lasting peace and we are working on it”, Echributed.
Before the meeting was avinagra, the Ukrainian head of state said Trump was “on the side” of Ukraine, and the 78 -year -old republican congratulated himself for having reached a “very fair” agreement on access to Ukrainian resources.
An agreement that remains in the air. The text did not correspond to the initial demands of the US President, who wanted a reference to a sum of US $ 500,000 million, nor offered security guarantees for Ukraine in case of cessation of hostilities.
According to Trump, this agreement would work as a kind of “safety net“Because someone” goes to look for problems “if the United States has”Many workers”Extraning minerals in Ukraine.
Ukraine and Europe have worried about Trump and Putin, who spoke long and lying on February 12 and began negotiations to end the war.
“It’s not alone”
The US president repeated that he trusts the Russian president, despite the repeated warnings of London and Paris about the fragility of any truce that was not accompanied by a solid control and security mechanism guaranteed by the United States.
Trump refuses to consider Moscow responsible for the war and has completely closed the door to a possible income from Ukraine in NATO.
Russia estimated that Trump and Vance acted with “moderation“Before”scoundrel“From Zelenski.
But the leader of the United States Senate Democratic minority, Chuck Schumer, accused them of making him “dirty work“To Putin.
In a joint statement, the leaders of the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the commission, and Antonio Costa, president of the Council, assured Zelenski that “He is not alone”
