A White House official reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of being ungrateful for U.S. assistance. In response, Zelensky criticized Trump’s stance on Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying, “A murderer should not be given any concessions.” The discussion escalated as Trump’s vice president remarked, “You have not expressed gratitude even once.” Trump nodded in agreement, while Zelensky raised his voice, replying, “I have thanked the American people many times.” Following the tense encounter, Zelensky left the Oval Office without participating in a joint press conference.
