Days after a row with President Donald Trump over not being “thankful” for the United States’ support in the war against Russia, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said he “understands the importance of America” and is “grateful” for all the assistance.
His video message on X came two days after he was shouted down at the White House by Trump and Vice President JD Vance for not being “thankful” and refusing to accept their proposed truce terms.
“Of course, we understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we’ve received from the United States. There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security,” he said after attending a key summit on the Russia-Ukraine war in London.
Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Turkey,” he added.
The security summit was hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. France’s Emmanuel Macron, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were among the 18 leaders who attended the meeting on the war, which broke out when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022
The Trump-Zelensky Spat
On Friday, Donald Trump’s first meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky since he returned to power in January began with exchanging compliments but turned into a fiery argument within minutes in front of the international media.
The heated Oval Office exchange began when JD Vance stressed the need for diplomacy to resolve the Ukraine war. He also accused Zelensky of not being “thankful” for US support when the Ukrainian President questioned his calls for “diplomacy” with Russia.
Trump also berated Zelensky, telling him that without US assistance, Ukraine would have been conquered by Russia.
