On February 28, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy visited Washington to seek U.S. security guarantees and discuss a mineral agreement amid the war with Russia.
His meeting with Donald Trump and JD Vance grew tense when Vance accused him of ingratitude, prompting Zelenskyy to question Vance’s war experience. Trump criticized Ukraine’s reliance on U.S. support and warned against escalating the conflict. Reports claim the meeting ended abruptly, with Zelenskyy allegedly asked to leave.
When pressed, Trump cryptically said, “I think you know the answer.” Zelenskyy, in military attire, vowed to wear a suit after the war. Trump later emphasized peace, while Zelenskyy thanked the U.S. Trump has paused military aid, pushing for a resolution to the conflict.
