WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied wrongdoing Friday night in his first public remarks since a major Oval Office argument with President Trump that upended talks to end his country’s war with Russia.
“I’m not sure that we did something bad,” Zelensky told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier when asked if he owed Trump an apology — before saying moments later that “of course” the relationship between the men can be mended.”I respect the president and I respect the American people,” the 47-year-old leader said in the interview, without admitting fault for clashing with Trump and Vice President JD Vance earlier in the day.

Doesn’t make me trust him though.
brilliant analysis
should be it’s own post
The DUmmies have absolutely melted down like Chernobyl over this exchange between Trump and Vance, and Zelensky.
They hate Trump and Vance with a burning passion and all of us as well, and wish they could kill us with impunity and have said they would given the chance.
THAT is what the left is about and how demonically fueled they are.
We are in debt to our eyeballs. Musk is right about we are on a path to bankruptcy by continuing on this path of playing world police, with fraud and waste continuing. It is time for drastic change of direction. US $ demise will be very ugly for all Americans.
Zelensky should have:
1) Never talked to democrats before he saw President Trump.
2) Put on a suit (although it would have rivaled the one Pesci wore to court in My Cousin Vinny.
3) Signed the deal (this was his 3rd opportunity).
4) Gone home with his tail tucked between his legs.
5) Resigned.
Elon Musk would accept this as his 5 accomplishments.
Great observation about the language barrier....even during the Fox interview he had to refer to his translator several times, once because he didn’t understand what the word “salvage” meant.
Having said all that, his behavior and disrespect were
May be true in Zelensky's case.
Well you did do something bad! And the sooner you admit it the better off you will be as a pe4son of integrity- until then,the fact that you can’t see that what you did was ignorant, tells us all we need to know about your character zleinskie
Probably the vast majority of the American people stand with the Ukraine people. So does Trump. That's why we want this war to stop.
Trump's plan to enter into a mutually beneficial economic deal with Ukraine and thus provide a strategic framework for US protection of Ukraine is the best idea I've seen regarding Ukraine to this point. It is because he wants to stop the needless deaths that have been ongoing for years now that he wants to make this deal. It's not because he doesn't care about Ukraine.
Ask those who are saying they 'stand with Ukraine' what that means. Does that mean they want to send more Ukrainians to their deaths in battle? Does that mean they would send their own children or the children of other Americans into that mess? Do they think we should continue a proxy war against Russia?
Sloganeering is not a plan.
>An argument like that should be done behind closed doors, not in public (although little Marco Rubio trying to disappear into the sofa was priceless).
Take your concern to the crying pillow. The deal *was* worked out (with the Envoy) and Z tried to change it. The deal *was* then worked out again (with Rubio) and Z thought it’d be a better angle to try and change it in front of the world press.
He did this because of comments just like yours. Oh the leftist press will roast him. Oh the optics. Oh the gravitas, that’s not how our President should be. 101.5% of RINOs would have turned into a quivering mess right there in fear of what the papers would say.
Z and his handlers where banking on just that to cow Trump into accepting a humiliation from little goblin Z. Trump said it right, he (they!) overplayed their hand. Trump has already been fake-impeached, cheated, prosecuted, raided, nearly jailed and actually shot. He appears to be done with fake optics.
Yes, I just ignore their ignorance. I stand with the poor Ukrainian people who have a little Castro wannabe dictator to funnel US taxpayer funds to the elite while they suffer.
Just ask them when they’re going to really stand with Ukraine by volunteering for their military.
Zelensky was used to be fawned over by the Biden regime - Biden never said no to Zelensky and gave him billions upon billions of American dollars - every time he asked - of American taxpayers’ hard-earned money. It was never enough.
Zelensky was completely disrespectful in his dress and manner - and Trump knew it. Glad to see the billions cut off, now Zelensky has gone to the UK - now he can ask Starmer for billions.
Thank you, neverevergiveup - and all who responded to my post, for your thoughtful and very helpful reply.
“He did this because of comments just like yours.”
You’re right, Trump can do no wrong. He’s infallible. You don’t like my opinion, you know what you can do to yourself.
I don’t trust him either, but if he does a good job, we ought to give him credit for that.
I have no doubt that what you say is true.
Talk about being TONE DEAF....the dollar store dictator should lay off the nose candy long enough to see how stupid he looked..that would be a good start!
