Many Ukrainians supported Mr. Zelensky after the White House

“I really can’t speak anymore,” said Roman Shkanov, 32 -year -old Ukrainian office worker, said on February 28. “A powerful country like America and has such a very weak stance.”

Shkanov mentioned the previous meeting on the same day between US President Donald Trump and his Okrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, in which Mr. Trump said Ukraine needs to accept concessions to achieve a ceasefire with Russia.

In response, Mr. Zelensky showed Mr. Trump a picture of Ukraine prisoners returned by Russia and announced that there would be no “any compromise” once Russia controlled the Ukrainian territory.

The next meeting became tense, the two leaders began to raise their voices and turned to quarrel. President Trump and US Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky “ungrateful” and “bet with World War III”.

After the battle, Zelensky left the White House earlier than expected and the two sides canceled the press conference, not signing the mineral agreement.

“He has fully defended our interests and does not allow people to suffer any form of slavery,” Shkanov said, mentioning the President of Ukraine.

On the streets of Kiev capital, most people agreed on the above view and expressed support for President Zelensky. Valentyn Burianov, 26, said that “it is impossible to be silent” when President Trump and Vice President JD Vance “say such meaningless things”.

“He did what to do,” Burianov said, mentioning Mr. Zelensky.

Mira, human resource manager, said that the battle will help Mr. Trump realize that Mr. Zelensky is “the president is not easy to give up”.

“It is not Ukraine who is betting on World War III, but it is likely that we are being used as a bargain,” Business Consultant named Oksana commented on the US leaders’ speech.

Not only ordinary people, Ukrainian officials and some influential people have made a message to support President Zelensky on social networks and call for solidarity.

“President Zelensky has enough courage and strength to protect the right thing,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, who participated in a meeting at the White House.

Oleksandr Merezhko, Chairman of the Ukrainian National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs Committee, affirmed that the country’s legislature “definitely” supported President Zelensky. “We are proud of the president. We are proud that he has the courage to stand up for Ukraine,” Merezhko said. “We unite behind the president, but also hope that common sense and wisdom will win.”

Merezhko expects President Trump will come to Kiev and witness what is happening, adding that the peaceful plan that Mr. Trump proposes to be “satisfied” Russia. “That way of heartbreaking will not lead to peace, but only open the door to World War III,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian MPs opposite Oleksandr Dubinsky strongly criticized President Zelensky, called his actions in the White House “diplomatic disaster” and called for his impeachment.

Anna Plachkova, a 26 -year -old doctor living in Kiev, emphasized that all Ukrainian people are “very grateful and realized what people in other countries have sacrificed to be able to support Ukraine”.

“I think Mr. Trump has caused a bit of hurt. Tell us ungrateful as a relatively serious allegation,” she said.

The official data shows that the US has provided Ukraine more than US $ 60 billion in military aid since the Russian – Ukrainian conflict has exploded at the end of February 2022.

If including humanitarian, military and financial aid, the United States provided Ukraine about US $ 120 billion from 2022 to the end of 2024, according to the German -based Kiel Institute of Economy.

Information about the battle between Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky made Plachkova worried. “American support is very important,” she said, adding that this incident is likely to greatly affect the battlefield.

Washington Post quoted an unnamed American official as saying that Washington was considering stopping all military aids for Kiev.

Lilia Ivanova, 22, has shared concerns with Plachkova. “I think this is nothing good to Ukraine,” she said.

Ivanova once hoped that President Trump, who promised to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine during the election, could bring peace to the country that had been devastated by the country.

“We have expected the conflict to end in a week, three months or a year. We used to have some hope to Mr. Trump, but that is now broken,” she shared.
