Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reaffirmed his respect for the United States and its people in an interview with Fox News, following a tense meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought to clarify his position after a contentious exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
Speaking with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Zelenskyy stated that he respects both Trump and the American people, while stressing Ukraine’s need for continued support.
When asked whether he owed Trump an apology, Zelenskyy responded that he believed in openness and honesty, adding, "I'm not sure that we did something bad."
Regarding the ongoing war, Zelenskyy insisted that Ukraine seeks peace but must negotiate from a position of strength, which requires military backing and security guarantees from allies. He acknowledged that the situation would be difficult without sustained U.S. support, admitting that Ukraine does not currently have enough weapons to push Russian forces out.
Reflecting on the White House meeting, Zelenskyy conceded that the encounter "wasn't good" but expressed hope that U.S.-Ukraine relations could recover, emphasizing the historical ties between both nations.
The meeting marked a low point in Kyiv’s relations with its key ally, with Trump and Vice President JD Vance accusing Zelenskyy of showing disrespect. A U.S. official later stated that the Ukrainian leader was asked to leave the White House earlier than expected.
