Ukrainian President Zelenskyy visited Washington on February 28 to seek US security guarantees and

discuss a mineral agreement amid the ongoing war with Russia. His meeting with Donald Trump

and JD Vance turned heated when Vance accused Zelenskyy of ingratitude, prompting the

Ukrainian leader to question Vance’s firsthand knowledge of the war. Trump criticized Zelenskyy,

stating Ukraine relies on US support and warning against escalating the conflict. Reports

suggest the meeting ended abruptly, with Zelenskyy allegedly being asked to leave the White House.

When questioned about this, Trump responded cryptically, “I think you know the answer.” Zelenskyy,

dressed in military attire, defended his choice, saying he’d wear a suit after the war.

Both leaders later shared statements on social media, with Trump emphasizing the need

for peace and Zelenskyy thanking the US for its support. Meanwhile, Trump has paused military

aid to Ukraine, aiming to ensure it contributes to resolving the conflict.
