The meeting of Donald Trump with Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House as the mood turned ugly and no sooner had the US president dismissed the Ukrainian president, telling him to return when he was ready for peace.

After the meeting ended, he made a post on Truth Social stating, among other things, that “Volodymyr Zelensky disrespected the US; come back when he is ready for peace.”

Donald Trump’s post

“We had a very substantive meeting at the White House today. We learned a lot that we could never have understood without discussion under such pressure. It’s amazing what comes out of emotion, and I have found that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels that our involvement gives him a great advantage in the negotiations. I do not want an advantage, I want peace. He disrespected the United States of America in the Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace.”

The White House posted on X the video of the moment of Volodymyr Zelensky’s departure, with Donald Trump saying, “He disrespected the United States of America in their treasured Oval Office. He can return when he is ready for peace. – President Donald J. Trump“.

When he is ready, he will be in the presence of the President of the United States when he is ready to face up to the challenges of the United States when the time comes.
