Ukrainian President Zelenskyy visited Washington on February 28 to seek US security guarantees and discuss a mineral agreement. His meeting with Donald Trump and JD Vance became heated when Vance accused him of ingratitude, prompting Zelenskyy to reply, “Have you been to the front line?”
Trump criticized Ukraine’s reliance on US support, warning against escalating the conflict. Reports claim the meeting ended abruptly, with Zelenskyy allegedly asked to leave. When asked, Trump responded, “I think you know the answer.”
Zelenskyy, dressed in military attire, defended his outfit, saying, “I will wear a suit after the war.” Both leaders later shared statements, with Trump stressing peace efforts and Zelenskyy thanking the US for its support.
Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine, seeking a solution to end the war.
