An unusual meeting was that between the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office at the White House.
American leaders launched a frontal attack on the Ukrainian president, putting him with his "shoulders against the wall" and finding him so unprepared that they could not find the words in English to respond.
The pressure was on Zelensky to quickly accept a ceasefire agreement with Russia and then demand a security guarantee, as at this moment, according to the American president, he is not in a position to set conditions.
It seems that the flirtation with Zelensky has deeper roots, as JD Vance did not forget to remind the Ukrainian president that in October he had campaigned for their presidential rivals.
"Without us you have no papers. His behavior has to change. You have to be grateful. You have to make a deal or we will abandon you and if we abandon you then you will really see how strong you are. You don't have the papers. If we sign the deal you will be in a better position", were some of Trump's words to Zelensky in this meeting.
"If you could reach a ceasefire now, I would tell you to accept it so the bullets stop flying," Trump says.
Zelensky-"Of course I want to stop the war -"
Trump: "You say you don't want a ceasefire."
Zelensky: I want a ceasefire agreement with guarantees.
The American president did not fail to mention the money that Ukraine has received from his predecessor for this war, to which he also referred with insulting words.
"We gave you through this stupid president 350 billion dollars, we gave you military equipment... if you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks."
"I heard it from Putin for three days," Zelensky replies.

Vance: No, in this whole meeting, have you said 'thank you'?" (A2 Televizion)
