It is encouraging to see this type of leadership who is fighting for Ukraine DEMOCRACY. I also admire the will of the Ukrainian people who are standing up for their FREEDOM and Europes. I question if Americans still have the fortitude to fight for OURS.
#Zelenskyy should walk out and #EU should sign the deal for minerals...but make it a good deal! And use frozen Russian assets to pay for ammo and weapons to brave Ukrainian soldiers ❤️🇺🇦
Zelensky shouted at Trump's envoy because Trump tries to blackmail him. The US is cheating, abusing Ukraine. Don't accept this. Having read the article I must say that Zelensky did the right thing.
No wonder. The Trump Administration are gangsters. They act like Jessie James. Rob you and cheat you. Give them NOTHING Ukraine. Trump is a crook and will not stick to a signed contract.
Good for him. He's protected his people against Russia for three years. Now he has to protect them from the extorting carpetbaggers of the US administration...sad.
There's no way President Zelenskyy would yell at them, but he could have spoken somewhat louder in response to their ridiculous demands. trump and his minions exaggerate everything.
as a Ukrainian I feel ashamed of Zelensky. There are certain rules in diplomacy, and yelling at our biggest ally and partner is the road to hell. No matter what Trump says, we should have declined respectfully. But this MF was never educated and I feel embarrassed.
No need to be ashamed. Yelling is not diplomatic, that's true, yet, flattering a narcissist like Trump does not help either and it isn't in the interest of Ukraine. Trump and his team are not normal, they are bewitched by Putin.
Yelling is awkward, presumably Trump provoked him. The US is not Ukraine's ally anymore. Allies don't behave like Trump and his satellites do. The situation has radically changed. Zelensky and his team will have to make the best of it. Not easy. Wish them all the best.
You are not Ukrainian you are a Putin troll. The USA has profited off Russia's invasion and as other have pointed USA was not the biggest supporter and they clearly are no longer an ally of Ukrainian.
Unfortunately, the USA today is not Ukraine's biggest ally. The best we can hope is that the USA remains Neutral over the next 4 years, and that a new administration can fix all the damage that trump is doing. However, I believe they are now actively hostile to the interests of Ukraine.
Ukraine has been destroyed by Russia, and when they are ready to rebuild, these minerals will help Ukraine finance this huge undertaking. Along comes a con artist who demands they give 500 billion in minerals for funds given towards the war. I don't hear any other Country asking for money, do you?
"Ukrainian sources said Bessent demanded that Zelenskyy sign the agreement immediately, but the president refused.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump claimed that the US Treasury Secretary was "treated rudely", saying it had taken Bessent a long time to reach Kyiv and the journey was "dangerous".
He trotted out the “he was asleep” barb about critical moments in Biden’s administration, yet Trump’s the one who slept through his trial. Once again, every accusation is a confession
After 3 years of war and a former ally trying to screw his country, anyone would resort to yelling at the idiots the Trump criminal enterprise sends over to make demands rather than negotiate in good faith.
F these Trump scoundrels ripping off our ally as Russia bombs them. This is all so wrong and embarrassing for the USA. Russia should be paying NOT Ukraine.
I am pleasantly amused that the US Mineral Deal negotiations are seemingly being conducted using a variation on the script for Servant of the People Season 2. I hope it ends the exact same way.
I can easily imagine the arrogant attitude displayed by the American republican. Total ignorance of his proper place in Ukraine speaking with the president of the country. "Sign this paper, you dumb foreigner."
Trump is a rapist, and believes his "grab em by the pussy" tactic extends to foreign affairs allong with the assault on our government work force. At this point I'm hoping Godzilla enters the fray.
I'm glad! He should yell at him. I'd love to yell at him! This is not the country I want to be part of. Americans are fighters for freedom, not suckups to dictators. Dump is making us weak, and a laughing stock. He needs to be given the boot, if only we could. The Muskrat with him is beyond toxic!

The USA is violating the Budapest Memorandum.
Ukraine prepaid for its security by surrendering its nuclear arsenal.
And now, Trump is trying to profit from violating the Budapest Memorandum while innocent Ukrainian children are suffering and dying as a result.
Fucking american snowflakes thinking they can gaslight people when being such assholes.

No one is obligated to welcome disrespect.
Crimea is Ukraine!!!
