World reacts after Donald Trump, JD Vance berate Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

After a heated exchange over Russia’s war with Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump had an abrupt end to their conversation in Washington, DC.

Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, berated Zelenskyy for not giving enough credit to the US for its support on Friday at the Oval Office.

Trump yelled, “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people.” You are gambling on World War III, and what you are doing disrespects this nation in particular. ”

In order to persuade Trump not to stand up for Russian President Vladimir Putin and to discuss potential US security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, Zoelenskyy said there would be no compromises with a killer on our soil.

Trump took to the Truth Social social media app, which he owns, to claim that Zelenskyy was not “ready for peace if America is involved” as the Ukrainian leader left shortly after the verbal exchange.

In its dear Oval Office, he disrespected the United States of America. When he is ready for peace, he continued.

After the meeting, Selenskyy expressed gratitude to the US for its support in a message on X.

Thank you for the American people, Congress, and the US. We are working exactly for that, he wrote. Ukraine needs just, lasting peace.

How did some world leaders respond to the contentious conflict:

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council

Former Russian president Medvedev claimed that Trump had “put a strong slap on the wrist” on Ukraine in a Telegram post.

Trump admitted for the first time that the Kyiv government is attempting to slay the third world war while speaking directly to the cocaine hyster. The owners of the pigsty gave the ungrateful pig a powerful slap on the wrist. This is helpful. We must stop military support for the Nazi machine, Medvedev said, but it won’t be enough.

Kaja Kallas, the head of the European Union’s foreign policy,

According to Kallas, it was obvious that “the free world needs a new leader.”

Ukraine is considered to be Europe! In a social media post, Kallas stated, “We stand by Ukraine.”

She continued, “We will increase our support for Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back against the aggressor.” The free world needs a new leader, according to today’s announcement. We as Europäers must meet this challenge. ”

Emmanuel Macron, the president of France,

Macron claimed to be the “aggressor” of the Ukrainian conflict and that Russia was the “aggressor” of the Ukrainian conflict.

I believe it was appropriate to support Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago and keep doing so. Macron referred to the United States of America as the “the United States of America, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.”

And we must honor those who have fought since the beginning and thank all who have donated. Because they are fighting for their rights, freedom, children, and safety in Europe. These are easy things, he continued, but they should be remembered at times like these, he continued.

Jonas Gahr Stoere, the prime minister of Norway,

Stoere criticized the White House’s events as being “grave and disheartening.” ”

Ukraine’s security and future are important to the US and Europe, and the US still needs their assistance.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president, has strong support in Ukraine and a lot of support in Europe, and he has led his people through a difficult and brutal time under the Russian assault. Trump’s claim that Zelenskyy engaged in World War III is utterly absurd and detracts from my opinion, he said in a statement to Norwegian TV2.

Estonia

Vladimir Putin’s decision to continue his war of aggression, according to foreign minister Margus Tsahkna, the only obstacle to peace, according to X’s Margus Tsahkna.

There won’t be war if Russia doesn’t fight anymore. There will no Ukraine without a ceasefire in the fighting. Ukraine continues to have unwavering support from Estonia. It’s time for Europe to take a new direction, Tsahkna wrote.
