With guns blazing in Ukraine, tones raged at the Oval Office in the White House. The world witnessed a fiery clash of ideas and perceptions between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky about the war and its resources.
President Trump achieved yet another milestone when he reprimanded and reminded the Ukrainian president about the multiple diplomatic favours, large sacks of dollars, and military aid flown to Ukraine.
Really reader, such a fiery discourse which was not any different from a brawl typical to business partners took the world by surprise through the media.
Trump even went on to claim that Zelensky was not ready for peace with Russia while right at the beginning Trump pointed towards his “casual” dressing sense.
Though silently listening to statements made and sentiments showed, Vice President JD Vance also joined the onslaught.
They called Zelensky thankless and careless about the financial and military aid, gifts and grafts doled out to Ukraine and because of this, it managed to sustain war with mighty Russia for so long.

To sign a US-Ukrainian agreement for cooperative mining of Ukraine’s natural resources as part of a post-war recovery under a peace agreement mediated by the US, Zelensky was scheduled to make a full White House visit.
Rather, Trump chastised Zelensky, ordering him to be more “thankful” and saying that Russia would have taken over Ukraine if the US hadn’t helped.
Trump was blunt saying, “You’re either going to make a deal or we’re out,” Trump added. “And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out and I don’t think it’s going to be pretty.”

Shortly after, Zelensky departed in his motorcade without holding the scheduled joint press conference.
The White House claimed that the resources agreement was not signed.
Zelensky was criticized by Trump on his Truth Social platform, claiming that “he disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office”.
“Not ready for Peace,” Trump wrote of Zelensky. “He can come when he is ready for Peace.”
Trump’s statement that Ukraine must make “compromises” in peace with Russia—which has taken large areas of Ukraine and destroyed entire villages and towns along the way—caused the remarkable meltdown.
Deals cannot be made without making concessions. Trump stated, “He will undoubtedly need to make some concessions, but hopefully they won’t be as significant as some people believe.”
Zelensky, meanwhile, referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin and showed Trump images of war crimes, saying there should be “no compromises with a killer on our territory.”
“Crazy Russians,” he claimed, invaded his country for three years, deported Ukrainian children, and perpetrated war crimes.
In the past Zelensky had pinned hopes with the new US admin saying, “I think President Trump is on our side.”
