Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is leaving the White House in anger and skipping a scheduled press conference with President Trump after he was apparently kicked out over his disrespect.
“He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace,” said President Trump.
Things got heated in the Oval Office with President Trump, VP Vance, and Zelensky.
Vance called Zelensky out for being disrespectful to the President, and President Trump blasted him for “gambling with World War III.”
President Trump condemned Zelensky in a statement, saying, “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.”

UPDATE!
Ukrainian military officers reacted Friday to the shouting match that broke out in the Oval Office between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
One military officer, who goes by the call sign Aleks, said on Telegram he doesn’t “give a damn” about the kind of peace Trump offers.
“It’s better to fight to death than to freeze the war and then be drained again in three years,” he said.
“Trump understands the aggressive manner of negotiations and is trying to crush Zelensky. There would have been no heated talks if Trump had offered at least a ceasefire on the contact line with minimal amendments,” said Stanislav Buniatov, another Ukrainian military officer, in a Telegram post.
“We are talking about handing over Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and a number of cities in the Donetsk region to the Russians,” Buniatov added.
“How do you imagine giving away cities with people? Trump does, because we are not people to him, he is negotiating on behalf of Putin’s interests, so don’t stoop to that,” he added.
Yeah, that might have been a little awkward, hmm?
Good luck in your war. Alone. Losing.
Cut all military and financial aid immediately.
The mineral deal has been ratified by the Ukraine government and technically it does not even need Zelensky’s signature.
Trump gave the guy a podium to act like a statesman and Zelensky tried to ambush Trump on national TV and negotiate in the media.
The fact of the matter is that peace is very much in the interests of the Ukrainian people but peace is not at all in Zelensky's interests.
Peace in Ukraine means the end of Zelensky.
YEP. Except Khan is brilliant.
