The Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarov did not hide his emotions during the verbal clash of the presidents Donald Trump and Wołodymyr Zelanski. The English daily “Kyiv Post” published a recording on which the diplomat's reaction to the quarrel of US and Ukraine's presidents was captured.
“Reaction of the Ukrainian Ambassador to the USA Oksana Marcarowa at the start of Trump with Zelanski” – he said in a short entry on the platform X Kyiv Post. He published a short recording showing a diplomat, who covers his face with his hand and lowers his head.
Trump's Friday meeting with Zelanski in the White House was very tense. During the presidents's conversation there was a sharp, verbal clash. Trump accused Zełenski of “disrespect, accused him that the Igra of World War III, and threatened that if he did not go to the system with Putin, America would withdraw support.”

A quarrel with the participation of the vice president
The dispute occurred after the vice president JD Vance joined the discussion. Trump, when asked about his “great sympathy for Vladimir Putin”, replied that “he was not allied with any of the parties to the conflict”, but noticed that Zelnski was hatred by Putin, which would make it difficult for him to conclude an agreement. – He has a huge hatred and I understand it, but I can tell you that the other party (Russia) He doesn't love him either. So it's not a matter of alliance – said Trump.
Vance added that Joe Biden “He spoke hard about Putin,” but let him destroy Ukraineand Trump wants to try diplomacy. At that time, Zelanski turned to Vance, pointing out that Putin had repeatedly broken the signed agreements. – So what kind of diplomacy you are talking about, JD? – Zełenski asked.
“I am talking about such a kind of diplomacy that will put an end to the destruction of your country,” Vance replied, accusing Zelanski's disrespect. – Now you walk and forced conscripts to go to the front, because you have staffing problems. You should thank the president that he is trying to end this conflict – added the vice president USA.
When Zelanski said that America did not feel what Ukraine was feeling, Trump replied: – We are trying to solve the problem. Don't tell us what to feel. You are not in the position to dictate anything. That's what you are doing – said Trump. Vance also joined the quarrel, who advised Zelnski to thank Trump. Trump added that Zelanski does not “show him respect.”
Zelanski left the White House ahead of time. He did not answer journalists' questions.
