How did Zelenskyy respond to Trump during the Fox interview?
Ukrainian President Zelensky just gave an interview with Fox where he addressed the Oval Office meeting where Donald Trump and J.D. Vance laundered Russian propaganda to attack and yell at Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of the world media where Zelensky held his ground. pushed back against Trump and J.D. Vance and strongly defended Ukraine, as well as democracies across the country. Zelensky was asked by Bret Baier of Fox if he would apologize to Donald Trump on camera, to which Zelensky said, no, what am I going to apologize for? I did not do something bad. Watch this. During all these years, 10 years,
So I'm not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the president an apology.
No, I respect the president and I respect American people. And if I don't know if I think that we have to be very open and very honest and I'm not sure that we did something bad. I think maybe sometimes some some some things we have to discuss out of out of media with all respect to democracy and to free media. But there are things where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And I think that is the most important thing.
Folks, President Zelensky is standing on business. He talks about how he respects America. He respects the American people, but he's not going to capitulate to Vladimir Putin, who's trying to wipe Ukraine off the face of the map. Here, Bret Baier asks Zelensky if he thinks his public spat in the Oval Office, that's how they're framing it on Fox, would serve Ukrainians well. And Zelensky said, let me just be very clear. Putin is a killer. I'm not going to say nice things about Putin. Play the clip.
Do you think the public spat in the Oval Office in front of the media served Ukrainians well today?
I think this kind of this kind of spat is is I mean, this we have I mean, this is not good for both sides anyway. And I'm very open, but I can't, you know, change our Ukrainian attitude to Russian. And I don't want they kill us for us. You know, this is very, very clear that Americans are the best of our friends. Europeans are the best of our friends. And Putin with Russian, their enemies. And it doesn't mean that we don't want peace. We just want to recognize the reality, the real.
Now, while that was taking place, Donald Trump wanted to hog the media attention. And Donald Trump then told the media what would have made him happy is if Zelensky would have said nice things about Putin. Donald Trump says, why is he saying mean things about Putin? He needs to be nicer to Putin. This is what Trump just said. Here, play the clip.
What? He's got to say, I want to make peace. He doesn't have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that, all negative things. He's got to say, I want to make peace. I don't want to fight a war any longer. His people are dying.
He doesn't Then Donald Trump attacks Zelensky while Zelensky is basically doing this interview on Fox and Donald Trump tries to like mock Zelensky and Trump's wearing the MAGA hat. This whole thing is just so humiliating for the United States. And Donald Trump's like, what? He thinks he's a big shot here. Play this clip.
He doesn't want to do that. That's fine. Do a better job. I want it to end immediately. I want a ceasefire now. He said, oh, I don't want a ceasefire. Well, all of a sudden he's a big shot because he has the U.S. on his side. Either we're going to end it or let him fight it out. And if he fights it out, it's not going to be pretty because without it, without us, he doesn't win.
It doesn't matter what I'm considering. I'm just telling you. You saw what I saw today. That was not a man that wanted to make peace. And I'm only interested if he wants to end the bloodshed. Thank you very much.
