Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova expressed shock over Trump’s restraint during his confrontation with Zelensky at the White House. In a Telegram post, she stated, “Among Zelensky’s many lies, the biggest was his claim that Kyiv stood alone in 2022, without support.” She further remarked, “It is a miracle that Trump and Vice President Vance refrained from striking that scoundrel.” The heated exchange between Trump and Zelensky occurred during discussions at the White House, but no agreement was reached regarding potential mineral resource deals.
