Today began with the same friendly routine that the White House is protected to visit foreign characters.
US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Voludeimir Zelinski, welcomed the door of the western wing to the guardian of honor, and shook hands with the leaders politely.
We were in the oval office as part of the Ukrainian media gathering, and we witnessed the procedures that were well trained and about half an hour of polite conversation.

Trump praised Zelinski’s clothes.
To date, a diplomat.
But a few minutes later, he was not at least at least. The genetic tone that moved to severity and chaos. The sounds were raised, the eyes were rolled, and the Samarrat – all in front of the world’s television cameras.
The US President and Vice President reprimanded the visiting leader, accusing Zelinski of not grateful enough to support the United States, which maintained the effort of the warships in Ukraine.
Tensions erupted when Vice President JD Vance Zelensky told that the war should end through diplomacy.
What kind of diplomacy, Zelensky answered.
During his talk about the Ukrainian President, Vans told the visiting leader that he was “respected” for him to come to the Oval Office and make his case in front of the American media and demanded that Trump thank him for his leadership.
Watch the journalists in the room with enormous mouths with an extraordinary exchange.
Trump told him at some point. “You must be grateful. You don’t have cards.”
“I do not play paper,” Zelensky answered. “I am very serious, sir. I am the president in war.”
“You are a gamble with World War III,” Trump answered. “What you do is not very respectful for the country, this country, which has supported you much more than many people they said they should have.”
And Vans replied, “Did I say,” Thank you “once this entire meeting?”
Watch the Ukraine Ambassador in the United States its head in its hands.
The atmosphere has turned completely – and everything in the open.
Our American colleagues noticed that they had not seen anything like that. Someone told me: “There was no simply like this in the White House.”
When the correspondents came out of the Oval Office, many stood in shock. In the White House briefing room, where the exchange was restarted shortly, I saw the rest of the media that were not in the room in disbelief.
Confusion of that. There were immediate questions about whether the planned press conference would go ahead-or whether the long-awaited deal between the United States and Ukraine on mineral resources would be signed.
Minutes later, Trump wrote on the social truth that Zelinski could “return when he is ready for peace.”
The press conference and the signing ceremony of the deals – scheduled to be held in the Eastern Chamber of the White House – were officially canceled.
Soon after the exit from Zelinski to the SUV, he was waiting for his ambassador behind him.
They withdrew because the world only began to digest an extraordinary moment.
Despite the full argument, there may be a deal of minerals sooner or later.
But there is one certain thing: this visit will be remembered by Zelensky for completely different reasons.
The world saw what negotiations between the United States and Ukraine were revealed: they are difficult, emotional and tense.
It was clear that this was difficult negotiations for both parties.
Certainly the gift of Ukrainian boxer Olexander Osik did not save the situation. After this match at the White House, the real question now is what this means for the war in Ukraine – and the future of Zelinski.
