Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says he did nothing ‘bad’ in Oval Office exchange. He says further steps in peace negotiations will depend on US position on his demand on a ‘just and lasting peace’ The Oval Office pool spray devolved into a shouting match between the President Donald Trump and Vice-President J.D. Vance. Some Republican lawmakers, including Lindsey Graham, slammed Zelenski, accusing him of showing disrespect instead of gratitude for the US support for Ukraine’s fightback against Russia. The two sides did not sign an agreement that was the purpose of the visit to give the US rights to Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth minerals and other natural resources in return partly for the contributions made towards Kyiv’s war efforts.
