Summary

During a heated Oval Office meeting, Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

Trump repeatedly cut Zelenskiy off, accused him of lacking gratitude, and defended Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also ranted about past U.S. elections and personal grievances.

Following the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming Zelenskiy “is not ready for peace.”

The U.S. and Russia recently held talks without Ukraine, raising concerns over sidelining Kyiv in negotiations.

    I get where you’re coming from. I can’t say I ever blamed the oppressed for their oppression, but at the same time I’m sure I’ve thought “why don’t they do more”? And now I, and it sounds like you, know. Right now, despite screaming to high heaven about this, I don’t know WHAT to do. All I know is that I don’t want to be the first, because I have ZERO faith anyone else in the country will back me up vs just shrugging it off. And like most Americans who can see what’s happening, I have a lot to lose.
