Ukraine envoy's reaction to Trump-Zelenskyy's heated exchange of words goes viral

Washington DC/IBNS: The meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned into a shouting match after the two were engaged in a war of words publicly.

Zelenskyy initially engaged himself in a spat with US Vice President JD Vance with later Trump joining the argument berating the Ukraine President.

Now Ukraine's ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova's reaction to the public spat went viral on social media.

Markarova was spotted in the viral videos trying to cover her face and nodding suggesting a disapproval of the situation.

The video was shared on X by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino who said on X, "Ukrainian Ambassador understands that Zelensky is a complete and total disaster…"

What did unfold in the White House?

Zelenskyy was in the White House to sign an economic deal with the Trump administration giving the US an access to the minerals in Ukraine.

But minutes into the meeting at the White House, Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Zelenskyy broke into a verbal spat.

Zelenskyy left the Oval Office after an angry meeting while Trump asked him to "come back when you're ready for peace".

No mineral deal was signed, said reports.

In a loud and stern voice, President Trump told Zelenskyy that you "either make a deal or we are out".

"You are in big trouble...you are not winning this," he said.

While Vance accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful", Trump said he is "gambling with World War Three".

President Zelenskyy responded in equal measure, saying, "We are in our own country, and we have stayed strong all this time. We have even thanked you for it (your support)".

While Zelenskyy left the meeting after the heated exchange, Trump said the Ukraine president can come back to the White House "when he is ready for peace."

The meeting devolved into a shouting match, according to CNN.

Later, in a social media statement, Trump said, "We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure.

"It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want an advantage, I want peace."

"He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace," the US President said.
