Zelenskyy Won't Apologize to Trump, but Calls Clash 'Not Good for Both Sides'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has refused to apologize for his argument with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance at a White House meeting, saying instead that the clash was "not good for both sides." The Ukrainian leader expressed gratitude to Trump and the American people for the U.S. aid provided so far and stated that it will be difficult for Ukraine to defend itself without continued support. Zelensky's comments come after the dispute at the White House, where he disputed Vance's argument about reaching peace with Russia through diplomacy.
