Zelensky says spat with Trump ’not good’ but that relationship can be salvaged

  • (BBC News) Volodymyr Zelensky has clashed with Donald Trump and JD Vance in an extraordinary exchange in the Oval Office.
  • Zelensky was then told to leave the White House and a planned news conference was abruptly cancelled.
  • During the clash, the US president told his Ukrainian counterpart to be “thankful” and accused him of “gambling with World War III.”
  • Zelensky said there should be “no compromises” with Vladimir Putin — but Trump said Kyiv will have to make concessions to reach a deal with Russia.
  • Both leaders have since taken to social media, with Trump saying Zelensky “can come back when he is ready for peace.”
  • Meanwhile, Zelensky has been replying to several European leaders who have shared their support of Ukraine.
