Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked President Donald Trump after they had a talk Wednesday at the NATO summit in the Netherlands — months after Vice President JD Vance called out Zelenskyy for not voicing more gratitude for U.S. support for Kyiv as it battles Moscow.
When Zelenskyy visited the White House in February he sparred openly with Trump and Vance in the Oval Office over engaging in diplomacy with Russia to end the conflict, prompting Vance to ask the Ukrainian leader if he'd "said thank you once this entire meeting."
But on Wednesday Zelenskyy made sure to thank Trump and the U.S. in a post on X following their meeting in The Hague.
"We covered all the truly important issues. I thank Mr. President, I thank the United States. We discussed how to achieve a ceasefire and a real peace," Zelenskyy said in a post on X on Wednesday. "We spoke about how to protect our people. We appreciate the attention and the readiness to help bring peace closer. Details will follow."

Meanwhile, Trump said Wednesday that his administration has not been able to finalize a peace deal with Ukraine and Russia, claiming that both leaders have been more challenging to work with than expected.
"Vladimir Putin has been more difficult," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "Frankly, I had some problems with Zelenskyy. You may have read about him, and it's been more difficult than other wars."
Still, Trump said that his meeting with Zelenskyy went smoothly, and that he would be speaking to Putin as well.
"He's very nice, actually," Trump said of Zelenskyy. "A little rough at times. He couldn't have been nicer. I think he'd like to see an end to this."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Too little, too late....
Sure.....he’s begging for money AGAIN.
You can set your watch by this little mfer.
IMO, I think Vance made that initial meeting worse. He just accused Zelensky of peripheral stuff like manners. The usual Leftist stuff.
Zelensky needed to be humbled in that meeting. Things are much smoother ever since.
“months after Vance’s jab about lack of gratitude”
Shows he has zero ability to read a room OR people......not an admirable quality for someone that’s supposed to be leading a country.
You think Trump will be fooled by this midget??
“””Zelensky wore a suit today, too. “””
Was there a sale at the Big & Dwarf clothing store?
Putin is shorter than Zelensky.
Can Putin play the piano with his pecker?
Yeah, Too Little, Too Late, Too Insincere.
I think because of Trump, not Vance.
To me Vance is Pence II. Why not?
I don’t think Vance is a traitor like Pence.
Did anybody think Pence was a RINO six months after the election in the summer of 2017 where we are now with Vance in 2025? Everybody thought Pence was the cat’s meow like they do now with Vance.
I never trusted politician Pence and I don’t trust politician Vance.
It seems one of Trump’s weaknesses is spotting hiding politician RINO’s when selecting a crew or VP. He should have selected a NON-POLITICIAN businessman like Vivek, the ONLY guy on the national stage calling for DISMANTLING significant unconstitutional portions of the federal gov’t, exactly what needs to happen to extend and expand MAGA.
It almost seems like Trump can’t see extending and expanding MAGA beyond his exit in 2028, but WE THE PEOPLE MUST see beyond 2028 to RESTORING AMERICA’S FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC which = MAGA!!!
Next, he should apologize to the American people for interfering in our election and campaigning for Kamala Harris.
Yep. He’s learning that there are different rules for panhandling Trump than there were for waving the tin cup at Biden. With Biden, Zelensky just demanded “MOAR MAH-NEY” and Biden gave it to him.
Trump is not an easy sell and he cannot be bought.
