Following a stressful situation in the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelanski thanked the US in a series of 13 positions on X and said “American people helped save our people” and restored that Ukraine only wants a strong relationship with the US.
He talks about the history of friendship between the two nations and says, “I want America to stand more strongly on its behalf. It is not just a war between our two countries; Russia brought this war to our region and our homes. They are wrong because they have insulted our regional integrity.”
Since US President Donald Trump threatened that we could get out of the talks and cut support for Ukraine, Zelancesi said, “This would be difficult without American support. But we can’t lose our desire, our freedom, or our people.”
He announced that Ukraine requires “some clear structure of security guarantee from our colleagues in the US” and “peace can only come when we know that we have a safety guarantee, when our army is strong, and our companions are with us.”
I cannot change the status of Ukraine on Russia. Russians are killing us. Russia is an enemy, and this is the reality we face. Ukraine wants peace, but it should be a equitable and permanent peace. For that, we need to be strong on the conversation table. Peace can come only when we know …

He reiterated that the Kiev is still ready to sign the deal of minerals and this would be “the first step towards the safety guarantee”, but it will not be all.
Russia repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreements and could not be trusted. “Putin has broken his own signature 25 times,” Zelansky said at the Oval Office when the exchange was heated. However, Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not break the agreement with him.
But Zelancesi continued his positions on X, “A ceasefire will not work with Putin. He has given a ceasefire 25 times in the last ten years. A real peace is the only solution.”

He ended the series of positions by saying that the two countries – America and Ukraine need to be “honest and direct with each other” to work on their goals together.
In front of the world media, Trump and Vance accused Zelancesi of not being “grateful” and pressured them to accept the peace agreement with Russia. In response, Zelansky claimed two American leaders to reconsider their situation, claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreements, illegally occupying the Ukrainian sector in the Crimea Pencinissor and violating human rights.
The stressful encounter, which left the Ukrainian leader visually uncomfortable, has ever taken a terrible backlash not only in Washington, but also beyond.
