After an unprecedented verbal spat at the White House with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on an X post has thanked Trump and the country for its support.
Instead of being a pivotal step towards ending the war that was initiated by Russia's invasion, the verbal spat in front of world media and the meeting seems to have worked in a different direction.
Following the unprecedented verbal clash in the Oval Office, a joint press conference scheduled between Trump and Zelenskyy in the East Room of the White House was also canceled. The much-talked-about mineral deal also did not go through.
The Trump-Zelenskyy Fallout At The Oval Office
The heated exchange saw a frustrated Zelenskyy lectured by Trump and Vice President JD Vance over what they saw as his lack of gratitude for previous US support, while the officials in Moscow saw it as a final breakdown in relations between Washington and the Ukrainian leader.
However, minutes after his departure from the White House, the Ukrainian president in a long thread of posts on X said, "Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.바카라
"It바카라s crucial for us to have President Trump바카라s support. He wants to end the war, but no one wants peace more than we do. We are the ones living this war in Ukraine. It바카라s a fight for our freedom, for our very survival", the president added.
During an intense war of words, Trump yelled at Zelenskyy accusing him of 바카라risking millions of lives바카라 and warning that his actions might lead to World War III.
Trump and Vance also accused Zelenskyy of not being thankful for the support the US has provided over the years and said the Ukrainian leader was in a "bad position" at the negotiating table with Russia on a potential peace deal.
바카라Let me tell you, you don바카라t have the cards. With us, you have the cards 바카라 but without us, you don바카라t have any cards바카라, President trump said.
Trump added later, 바카라You have to be thankful; you don바카라t have the cards. You바카라re buried there.바카라
Before the heated exchange, a reporter asked Zelenskyy why he was not wearing a suit to the meeting in the United States바카라 highest office.
바카라I will wear a (suit) costume after this war finishes, yes. Maybe something like yours, yes, maybe something better. I don바카라t know, we will see. Maybe something cheaper. Thank you,바카라 he said, responding in English.
