“You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards,” Trump told him. “You are playing with World War II. And what you are doing is very disrespectful with the country.”
Vance accused Zelenskyy of trying to litigate his problems in front of the US media, adding: “Offer some words of thanks for the United States of America and the president who is trying to save his country, please.”
Zelenskyy replied: “Have you ever been in Ukraine? Have you seen the problems we have once.”

“We had a very significant meeting in the White House today. It was much learned that it could never be understood without conversation under that fire and pressure,” Trump wrote. “It is surprising what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for peace if the United States is involved, because he feels that our participation gives him a great advantage in the negotiations. I do not want advantage, I want peace. He did not respect the United States of America in his appreciated Oval office. He can return when he is ready for peace.”
