Trump and Vance criticize Zelenskyy's perceived ingratitude

In a tense Oval Office meeting, U.S. President Trump and Vice President Vance confronted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, accusing him of ingratitude for U.S. support against Russia. The meeting deteriorated as Zelenskyy attempted to discuss Putin's stance. Russia's foreign ministry spokesperson praised Trump and Vance for their restraint during the confrontation. The meeting ended without signing a critical minerals deal, and a planned joint press conference was canceled. Zelenskyy left the White House after two hours, expressing gratitude to the U.S. on social media. Trump later stated that Zelenskyy could return when ready for peace, while senior officials reportedly instructed him to leave.
