VP Vance lays out how Zelenskyy could salvage relationship with U.S. in first interview since Oval Office blow up

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Vice President JD Vance explained how the United States and Ukraine could have a path forward for a relationship in his first interview since the world leaders of the two countries argued in the Oval Office. While meeting Friday in the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump and Vance got into a heated argument in front of the press. The Ukrainian president openly criticized the U.S. for not stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin. The argument led to Trump cancelling the planned joint press conference, kicking the world leader out of the White House, with no minerals deal signed. Vance sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday to detail what went down and the U.S.’ conditions for moving forward with Zelenskyy...

Zelensky says ‘End of War with Russia is very, very far away’

By AP via Breitbart A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with U.S. President Donald Trump. “I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship,” Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war. “I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America” to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

Marco Rubio can’t say ‘peace is possible’ between Ukraine and Russia

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Secretary of State Marco Rubio mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s demands for security guarantees when peace with Russia is still not guaranteed. Ukraine just passed its third-year anniversary since Russia invaded and war broke out. While Zelensky has maintained control of its capital, Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have annexed Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions in the south and east of Ukraine since September 2022. Rubio explained that speaking to Putin, after not a single European ally or former President Joe Biden was able to, is the way to end the war. “No one here is claiming Vladimir Putin is going to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year or that he should b...

Trump, Zelensky go at it in heated oval office debate

By David Zimmermann | National Review President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance traded heated barbs with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, calling the wartime leader “disrespectful” and saying he should be more “thankful” for continued U.S. support. “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people! You’re gambling with World War III!” Trump told Zelensky as the two sit next to each other in the Oval Office. “Have you said ‘thank you’ once?” Vance chimed in. “You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the Unites States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NATIONAL REVIEW

Trump and Macron plan to share ‘burden of securing the peace’ in Ukraine

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Daily Signal French President Emmanuel Macron agrees that Europe must join the United States in bearing the “cost and burden of securing the peace” between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said Monday. Macron and Trump met on the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Trump said “would never have happened if I was president” in February 2022. “Europe must take that central role in assuring the long-term security of Ukraine, which they want to do,” Trump said. “And that’s not a very big step. A big step is what’s going to happen over the next few weeks.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Kremlin denies Trump’s claim that Putin is ready for peacekeepers in Ukraine

By Diana Glebova | New York Post The Kremlin on Tuesday rebutted President Trump’s claim that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ready for European peacekeepers to be installed in Ukraine. “There is a position on this matter that was expressed by Russian Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a press conference. “Russia media site TASS reported. I have nothing to add to this and nothing to comment on.” Peskov was referring to Lavrov’s recent remarks asserting that Russia would find it unacceptable if NATO-aligned troops were put in Ukraine after a peace deal is negotiated.

Zelensky claims he would resign in exchange for Ukraine NATO membership

By Kurt Zindulka | Breitbart Amid the ongoing public spat with U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that he would be willing to step down in exchange for NATO membership for his country. Zelensky, apparently still miffed about not being included in opening talks between the Russians and a White House delegation in Ryiad earlier this week, seems intent on negotiating the peace process from the outside in public. Speaking in a Kyiv press conference on Sunday, the Ukrainian leader said that he would be willing to resign from his office to help the peace process. However, he quickly caveated by suggesting that this would come in the form of Ukraine’s joining NATO, officially a non-starter for Russia, per the Kremlin. READ THE FULL STORY AT...

The upbeat meeting seemed to scale back a growing confrontation between Zelensky and Trump over bilateral U.S. peace negotiations with Russia. “I had a productive meeting with Special Envoy Kellogg – a good discussion, many important details. I am grateful to the United States for all the assistance and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zelensky said on social media Thursday afternoon.
