I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was a complete disaster, and I question whether Americans will still see him favorably. Based on what I witnessed, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want Zelenskyy as a business partner. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about reaching a ceasefire and ending the war. I am proud of President Trump for showing the world not to trifle with him. However, Zelenskyy seemed to try and bait Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.

After watching that meeting, I'm convinced this administration has zero interest in helping Ukraine maintain its sovereignty. They want us to shut up, stop complaining, stop asking for help and money, concede to Russia, and leave the US alone. Trump wants peace, but his idea of peace is to end the war and let Russia do whatever it wants. Zelensky was villainized for wanting guarantees and protections for Ukraine while being open to a ceasefire. He was told he's prolonging the war and wants World War III. No, he wants to defend his country and maintain as much freedom as possible, but he's being villainized for it. After that meeting, we're fucked.

So, we just had a very intense meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Zelensky. Vance suggested diplomacy for peace, but Zelensky quickly shot that down, bringing up a past broken deal with Putin, and questioned what kind of diplomacy Vance was even talking about. Vance responded by mentioning that Zelensky was being disrespectful. Trump then intervened, telling Zelensky not to dictate how they should feel, pointing out Ukraine's weak position and the risk of gambling with World War III. I made it clear that my alignment is with the United States and the world's well-being. I need to be able to negotiate without the kind of hatred Zelensky has for Putin, which makes reaching a deal difficult. I reminded everyone that without the United States, Ukraine has no leverage.

European leaders are not coming to rescue Zelensky from bullying; they are coming "because we've been working with the Europeans" and "the president invited them to come." The visit is not a stunt; there have been more meetings with Zelensky than with Putin, including "one meeting with Putin and, like, a dozen meetings with Zelensky." The White House says Zelensky told European leaders last week he wanted a cease-fire and that he would "walk out in two minutes" if Putin didn't agree; he spent three hours with Putin but "did not get one." The aim is "a peace agreement to end this war" and there was "enough progress" to move to the next phase. If peace isn't possible, "sanctions" are on the table, but "if he did this now, the moment the president puts those additional sanctions, that's the end of the talks." It will require concessions from both sides.

There is concern from the Europeans that Zelensky is being bullied into signing something away, which is why European leaders are coming as backup tomorrow. They are coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans; the president invited them to come. The president told those European leaders last week that he wanted to cease fire, and he said on television he would walk out if Putin didn’t agree, with severe consequences if he didn’t. He spent three hours with Putin and did not get one. Our goal is a peace agreement to end this war. There was enough progress in the talks to move to the next phase. If peace is not possible and the war continues, thousands will die. The president could impose new sanctions, but that would end talks; it will require concessions from both sides.

I just came from the press area, and I've learned that President Zelensky has essentially been asked to leave the White House. The feeling is that Zelensky came off as ungrateful and disrespectful during the meetings, with officials noting his body language, like shrugging and eye-rolling. The President believes Zelensky isn't serious about pursuing peace at this time. He's welcome to return when he's ready to have serious discussions about peace, but right now, he's being told he needs to go home. As a result, the lunch planned for them is now going to be eaten by the press staff.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for turning our meeting into a fiasco by being antagonistic. He undermined our efforts to bring about peace by attacking Putin and making maximalist demands. This makes us question whether he truly wants a peace deal. Our goal is to explore whether peace is possible and get Russia to the negotiating table. I question whether Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for a negotiation. Despite reports, we are coordinating with the Ukrainians. President Trump wants to bring an end to this unsustainable, bloody war. He's the only leader who has a chance of achieving this. Zelenskyy should be thanking and supporting President Trump for his efforts to help bring an end to this war.

So, I saw Trump meet with Zelensky, and it was wild. Trump really laid down the law, a total master class in the art of the deal. He made it clear the U.S. isn't just a piggy bank. We want something in return for our investment. Zelensky seems used to just getting what he wants without even saying thank you, walking in, demanding money without any gratitude. Trump's message was clear: this is how it's going to be. The press conference was canceled. It was a serious power move. Some feel bad for Zelensky but it shows the world that the United States is done being a charity organization.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. There's no question this was a setup. Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without security guarantees, all to improve relations with Trump. During the meeting, Vice President Vance confronted Zelensky, which couldn't have happened without Trump's blessing. It was a play to Trump's base and Putin, meant to humiliate Zelensky, but he didn't play along. Zelensky has thanked the U.S. countless times for its support. This was an effort to humiliate him and to scuttle the U.S.-Ukraine relationship so that Trump no longer feels any obligation to provide support and to hand, US interests, and Ukraine and and potentially Europe to Putin on a silver platter.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco during his visit. We had an understanding that he wouldn't come here and lecture us about diplomacy, but he did, leading to a predictable outcome. His actions set his country back in achieving peace, which is President Trump's goal. Zelenskyy undermined efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomacy and making maximalist demands. We need to explore if peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. Zelenskyy was here to sign a mineral rights deal, but his comments suggest he doesn't want peace. President Trump wants to explore a peace deal before discussing security guarantees. He's the only one who can potentially bring the combatants to the table, so we should support his efforts instead of undermining them.

Donald Trump arrived here, you know, I guess with the aspiration that he would leave being hailed, a peacemaker and a deal breaker deal broker apologies. I think, actually, he goes back having been humiliated by Vladimir Putin. Putin had the opportunity at every stage of the day to present himself as the equal to the president of The United States, arguably the most powerful man in the world. He, you know, walked, down the tarmac with him. He was applauded by president Trump. He then was even allowed to speak first in that news conference. Very unusual for a visiting head of state to be allowed to do that. He kind of controlled the narrative today, I thought. Yes. A a former adviser to president Zelenskyy made a very good point just a few moments ago when he was talking about the change in demeanor of of president Trump. And he did seem very buoyant beforehand as

We're coming on with breaking news: talks between the US and Ukraine have broken down after a tense day at the White House, and a planned news conference has been canceled. President Trump posted on social media that President Zelensky is "not ready for peace" and "disrespected The United States." Zelensky clashed with Trump and Vice President Vance in the Oval Office, with them yelling at him about his "attitude" and gratitude for US support. The agreement to give US control over mineral rights in exchange for weaponry was not signed. Zelensky is on his way home. Sources in Kyiv feel that Zelensky was humiliated. He went to Washington intending to sign the deal, but things fell apart when JD Vance accused Zelensky of propaganda and Trump backed Vance.

So, Zelensky invited the media to a White House meeting, which Trump and Vance were fine with. Trump wanted a ceasefire and peace talks, in exchange for a stake in Ukraine's minerals, considering the U.S. had provided substantial aid. Vance criticized Zelensky's arrogance and lack of gratitude. Zelensky responded defiantly, and Trump intervened, asserting Zelensky's dependence on U.S. support. Trump cautioned Zelensky against escalating tensions towards World War III, emphasizing that without U.S. assistance, Ukraine wouldn't last two weeks against Putin, even less according to Putin. Ultimately, Trump dismissed Zelensky, advising him to reconsider his approach before seeking further assistance.

I met with Zelensky this morning, advising him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, what I witnessed was an absolute disaster, making me question if Americans can still see him favorably. Most Americans, including myself after seeing that, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky. Last night, I spoke with President Trump, who was optimistic about a potential deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for demonstrating strength. He aims for a ceasefire and an end to the war, but Zelensky seemed to provoke him in the Oval Office.

Okay, here's my perspective from the Oval Office press conference. The President was being very gracious to Zelensky, even when Zelensky was needling him and saying untrue things. Things went off the rails when a Polish journalist asked a question. After the President answered it, I answered it, and something about my answer set Zelensky off. I tried to diffuse the situation and suggested we continue the conversation in private, but the President wanted to have the conversation in public for the American people to see. There was a lack of respect and a sense of entitlement from Zelensky. Ultimately, the President wants the killing to stop, and Zelensky needs to come to the negotiating table. The real breakdown was Zelensky's unwillingness to engage in the peace process, and he wasn't there yet, but I think he'll get there eventually.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco. He was antagonistic and undermined our efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomatic approach. We were trying to get Russia to the table, but Zelenskyy's actions suggest he may not want a peace deal. We need to explore whether peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. President Trump is trying to do this, while others seem to have no exit strategy, potentially prolonging the conflict. I doubt Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for negotiation, especially after public comments that undermine peace efforts. President Trump wants an enduring peace, and if I were Ukraine, I would be thanking him and supporting his efforts.

I've learned that President Trump has essentially kicked Zelensky out of the White House. My sources tell me that Trump felt disrespected by Zelensky's body language during their meeting, interpreting his shrugs and eye rolls as ungrateful. The President believes Zelensky isn't ready to seriously discuss peace and has told him to return only when he is. The lunch planned between them is now being eaten by press staffers. It appears this relationship was strained even before this meeting. Just a week ago, President Trump referred to Zelensky as a dictator, though he seemed to dismiss the comment when asked about it later. I'm told Zelensky was begging to stay and resolve the situation.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to stay positive and grateful. We'll discuss security guarantees later, but the meeting was an utter disaster. I'm questioning if Americans can still trust him. After witnessing today's events, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky, despite my multiple visits to Ukraine. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about the deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for showing the world that he is not to be trifled with. He was positive about getting a ceasefire and ending the war, but Zelensky seemed to want to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD did a great job.

I've been told that President Biden has asked Zelensky to leave the White House. The President and other officials felt disrespected by Zelensky's body language, including shrugging and eye-rolling, which they perceived as ungrateful. The President believes Zelensky is not yet ready for peace negotiations and can return when he is. Zelensky's delegation is being told he needs to go home. The scheduled lunch has been canceled, and the press staffers will be eating it instead.

Zelenskyj is getting into a car, not accompanied by President Trump, as he departs from the White House. The mineral agreement is off, and the joint press conference is canceled. The future of peace negotiations is uncertain. How can there be trust moving forward? The Ukrainian delegation, including several ministers, has left. Zelenskyj got into the car, waved to the press, and was on the phone. **Translation:** Zelenskyj steigt in ein Auto, nicht begleitet von Präsident Trump, als er das Weiße Haus verlässt. Das Mineralienabkommen ist geplatzt und die gemeinsame Pressekonferenz abgesagt. Die Zukunft der Friedensverhandlungen ist ungewiss. Wie kann es in Zukunft Vertrauen geben? Die ukrainische Delegation, darunter mehrere Minister, hat das Land verlassen. Zelenskyj stieg ins Auto, winkte der Presse zu und telefonierte.

This situation is an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup, orchestrated to compel Zelensky into a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without concrete security guarantees. Zelensky came to Washington to improve relations with Trump, but Vice President Vance confronted him, which I believe was deliberate and known by Trump. This was a play to Trump's base and, more importantly, to show fealty to Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Zelensky, showing dignity and representing his people, didn't follow the script and tried to correct the lies being told. It wasn't about gratitude; it was an effort to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship, allowing Trump to hand U.S. interests and Ukraine to Putin. The big question is, why?

I just came from the press area and have learned that President Biden has essentially kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Zelensky's own delegation is advising him to return home. The President felt disrespected by Zelensky's body language, including shrugging and eye-rolling, which officials perceived as ungrateful. Biden believes Zelensky is not currently prepared for peace negotiations and can return when he is. As a result, the scheduled lunch has been canceled, and the press staff will be eating it instead.

I'm not sure about numerous calls, but there was at least one request to come back and continue the conversation. I felt that they were disrespectful and unwilling to discuss a peaceful settlement. You can't fund the war forever; the American people won't stand for it, and neither will the Europeans. We need to bring this to a peaceful settlement. I was trying to do that, and I'll continue to try, but it takes two to tango. The Ukrainians need to participate in the conversation, but they weren't willing to do that on Friday, so I sent them home. I expect the war will go on a very long time. I don't know where they're going to get the money to fund it.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup orchestrated by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to appease Vladimir Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Trump even admitted it was "great television." Zelensky was compelled to come to Washington seeking support, but Vice President Vance ambushed him, with Trump's blessing. In my experience, such actions don't occur without the president's approval. This was a deliberate attempt to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship and hand U.S. interests to Putin. Zelensky, despite the pressure, maintained his dignity and defended the truth, refusing to play along with their script. His attempt to clarify the situation wasn't about a lack of gratitude, as he has repeatedly thanked the U.S. for its support.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to maintain a grateful and positive attitude, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was an utter disaster, leaving me questioning whether Americans can still see him as a reliable partner. Based on what I saw today, most Americans, including myself after nine trips to Ukraine since the war began, would hesitate to partner with him. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about a potential deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for demonstrating his strength. He was positive about getting a ceasefire to end the war, but Zelensky seemed to be trying to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.
