Donald Trump's historical gathering with Volodymyr Zelenski, which took place on 28 February 2025, ended in 1 large fuss. specified scenes The White home has never seen, and never in the past of the seat of American presidents, a guest has been asked out, and this "honour" has just met the Ukrainian president. To this day there are discussions about why this happened and whether it was Donald Trump's plan, or just with all word and second the atmosphere was thickening. The second version seems unlikely, due to the fact that not only at the celebrated meeting, but besides before and after it, the American administration repeatedly made it clear that Zelenski behaved arrogantly and placed unrealistic conditions without any arguments.
During the visit, the Ukrainian president collected the full list of charges and truly not for a minute did Donald Trump and Vice president James David Vance spare their guest:
The problem is, I gave you the strength to be tough, but I don't think you're tough without the United States. Your nation is very brave, but either you make a deal or we withdraw, and if we back down, you'll gotta fight. I don't think it's gonna go well and you're gonna find out. Do not tell us how to feel.... We're trying to solve the problem. Don't tell us how to feel. You're in no position to dictate anything. That's what you do. You should be grateful; you have no cards in your hand; either we make a deal, or we part ways – shouted in the face of Zelensk Donald Trump.
I think it's rude that you come to the Oval Office and effort to argue. (...) Did you say “thank you” for erstwhile during the full meeting? – he stated and asked James David Vance in a disciplining tone.
Today's visits were completely different, mainly due to the fact that Volodymyr Zelenski He wore a kind of suit, and even though he didn't have a tie, he wasn't precisely a brawling guy. On the contrary, he expressed deep gratitude in the first sentences, and he utilized thank - you words 4 times.
Thank you for inviting me and thank you very much for your efforts, individual efforts to halt the killing and end this war. Thank you for taking this opportunity, thank you so much for your wife.
Such a large variation is surely due to the deep reflection that the Ukrainian president has made, who repeatedly behaved at least inadequately to the situation in 1 of his countries and himself. erstwhile you are incapable to guarantee your own safety, you must learn 2 words: delight and thank you. This was highlighted by Zelensk Vice president James David Vance and president Donald Trump, who at the same time warned that if this lesson did not bring the expected results, Ukraine would gotta cope on its own. This may not be the most diplomatic way to practice politics, but it is very effective.
Unfortunately, in Poland we had a completely different president who followed the unhealthy principle: “We are servants of the Ukrainian people”. This resulted in terrible consequences and we heard from Ukrainian politicians constant demands, intertwined with shoals. The words “please and thank you” said highly seldom and was alternatively educated than explicitly spelled out. one more time the iron regulation is confirmed that in politics you gotta play hard for your own and exploit your opponent's weaknesses alternatively of showing your own. quite a few controversy is caused by Donald Trump, but 1 thing no 1 will deny him, even the top critics – a hard, uncompromising attitude.
We don't believe in anyone, we don't believe in anything! We look at facts and draw conclusions!
