Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has disclosed that his frustration with the United States administration began after it issued a series of controversial comments five weeks after Trump’s inauguration.

Zelensky, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, were reported to have been involved in a heated verbal exchange at the Oval office.

The confrontation erupted after Trump and Vance accused Zelensky of not showing public gratitude for U.S. support in Ukraine’s ongoing war efforts.

Reacting to the altercation in an interview with Fox News, Zelensky said, “It’s not about mad.

“When you are in the United States, and for example, the president, vice president or somebody or senators doesn’t matter, big politicians when they, for example, say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not a heroes, that Ukraine lost millions of civilians, that his president is dictator.

“The reaction is that, where is our friendship between Ukraine and United States? I do not want to lose our great partners in the United States.

“I respect the president, and I respect the American people. I’m not sure that we did something bad.

“We want just and lasting peace. It’s true. We want security guarantees.

“If United States will support NATO. I think that is enough for Ukraine.”
