as they meet in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, February 28, 2025 (SAUL LOEB / AFP) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is leaving the White House early after a contentious Oval Office meeting with US President Donald Trump, a White House official says.
The announcement comes after Trump and US Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump repeats that Zelensky was “disrespectful.”
“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,” Trump writes. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE.”
“He can come back when he is ready for Peace,” he adds.
Zelensky had been scheduled to have lunch with Trump and both leaders were going to sign a minerals deal during a joint news conference.
Instead, Zelensky’s armored SUV abruptly pulled up to the door of the West Wing moments after Trump’s post.
He and his entourage hightailed it out the door and into a limo - no farewells or niceties from any WH staff.
Now stop sending weapons and order Starlink shut off in the region.
Is Zelensky paying democrats to be his advisers ?LOL
Lame headline. I saw the whole thing. Z came in with a chip on his shoulder and picked a fight with Trump and Vance. There’s an old saying, “Don’t write checks that your ass can’t cash.” That’s what Z did today.
He should have been issued a Yugo instead of an armored SUV
Zelenskyy BEGGED Trump to stay and Trump told him to leave..didnt even give him his free meal LOL
According to Fox, Zelenskyy was NOT going to sign any mineral deal today
“berated”, very charged language wouldn’t you say TOI? Let me help: Z was so bratted at the White House he was tossed out.
The Dems must now be....”Now what do we do”...We gave “Z” everything and here we are 3 years later....and Ukraine hasn’t gained a damn thing....millions have left and millions are dead....yet he persists...Why??

Zelensky is no statesman, but a crude beggar, and a belligerent pompous one at that. He got dressed down today. Don’t screw with the bull, you’ll get the horns. He’ll be back with his tail between his legs before long.
I didn’t think that the deal would come off, and if he had agreed he would have reneged later. I don’t trust this little twerp.
The Apprentice 2025.
You’re fired little man.
It was Rubio and Waltz that kicked him out today..when Rubio tells you to get the F out, you get the F out..Trump and Vance were being VERY gracious today and Zelenskyy started acting like a little punk scolding Vance and Vance didnt want any of it..Vance today became the 2028 nominee, PERIOD, he has it if he wants it..can you all imagine had Pence been with Trump, Pence would have cried like a prick and begged Zelenskyy to be nice
I think Pence would have stayed far away from it. That was something to watch. Trump does not take any sh—. Wow!
When will Ukraine wise up. I predict “Martial Law” will be lifted in the next 72 hours. “Z” has no idea what to do next.
Lindsey Graham was just on Fox and I thought “Ok he’s gonna defend Zelenskyy” NO he defended Vance and Trump..he said that Zelenskyy came here and acted like a total ass, said that you dont disrespect Vance in front of Trump and expect Trump to just sit there and allow it..and Graham said that would you want Zelenskyy to be your business partner, of course not you cant trust him he said that either Zelenskyy shape up or they can send someone else to make deals
Can’t believe what I heard...If you don’t help us, Putin will attack you....this is in my own words...
Maybe Z just doesn’t have the skills for negotiating. They got diplomats in Ukraine, don’t they? Well, I hope so.
I agree with you on the lame headline- but none of us saw the whole thing -
was reported that that conversation was going on for 45 minutes before it was picked up for tv.
So Zelenskyy must have really pissed off Trump and Vance earlier in the meeting. I noticed Rubio just sat there with his head down.
