NATO Chief Over Zelensky and Trump
New Delhi, 1st March 2025: The NATO chief said on Saturday that what happened at the White House was unfortunate. “I told Zelensky that I think you have to find a way to restore your relationship with Trump and the US administration,” Rutte said. He told Zelensky that President Trump should respect what he has done for Ukraine.
The heated debate between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raised questions about the future of Ukraine. Zelensky and Trump came together to sign the Mineral Deal between the two countries. In the White House things started to get worse when a reporter questioned US Vice President J.D. Vance about the ongoing peace talks with Russia. In response to this question, JD Vance said that he is talking to Russia diplomatically. “JD, what diplomacy are you talking about?” interrupted Zelensky. Trump told Zelensky bitter words. After this, the attitude of Trump and Vance became aggressive. “You’re talking in a loud voice,” Trump said. Donald Trump told Zelensky that you are isolated and we will leave you to fend for yourself. He said that Ukraine is safe because of America. To which, he replied, “I am not playing cards. “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people,” Trump said. You’re gambling on World War III. “
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become a hero to the people of Ukraine after he made a strong case for Ukraine during his meeting in the Oval Office with US President Donald Trump. As soon as Zelensky came out of the ‘White House’, the people of Ukraine took to the streets in support of him. People called Zelensky a defender of the country’s interests. “Zelensky has fought like a lion,” said Natalia Serhienko in Kyiv. There was a heated debate between them, but Zelensky protected the interests of Ukraine. On the Internet media, Ukrainian officials and others also praised Zelensky’s courage, calling for unity.
“Our leaders are determined to defend the interests of Ukraine and the Ukrainians, despite the pressure,” said Oleh Sinihubov, head of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. Artem Vasilyev, a Kyiv resident, said he felt “complete disrespect” by the US during the talks in the Oval Office, even though Ukraine was the first country to stand up to Russia.
According to protocol, after moving to separate rooms, the two leaders were to meet again to address the press and have lunch together. Green salad, rosemary roasted chicken, and crème brûlée dishes were prepared for the Ukrainian President and his delegation. But he was forced to leave the White House without food. As the lunch was being prepared for the Ukrainian guest outside the Press Secretary’s office, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz asked the Ukrainian president to leave the White House, reports CNN.
Ukraine’s European partners and leaders of several countries have come out in support of Zelensky after a heated debate between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. The support of European countries for the Ukrainian leader has exposed the deep rift between the US and Europe on the issue of Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen posted on X: “The dignity you showed showed the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Stay strong, brave, and fearless, dear Volodymyr Zelensky. We stand with you in your quest for a just and lasting peace.
