Zelensky responds to Trump’s comments:

  1. In that lie-infested takedown of Zel, he was close to tears. His ambassador; Oksana Markarova, was in tears because she immediately grasped the horror of the situation.
    The only security guarantees that Ukraine has is its army. For Ukraine to survive, it must double in size; in double quick time.
    What other options do they have?

  2. BBC :

    “An opposition Ukrainian MP has voiced support for Zelensky after his public row with Trump in the White House.
    Inna Sovsun, a member of the Holos (Voice) party, told BBC Radio 4’s the World Tonight programme that the Ukrainian president had been “attacked” by his American counterpart and Vice-President JD Vance, and “couldn’t have predicted that level of aggression”.
    “I do believe the president was speaking on behalf of all Ukrainian people,” Sovsun said, adding that Trump and Vance “did clearly try to offend him”.
    “They clearly pointed out that it was his fault that the war is ongoing, which was an absolutely unacceptable thing to say,” she said.
    “And what strikes me most is, if you remember a week or so ago when the American team was negotiating with the Russians, they were all nice and cordial to the representatives of the country that has attacked, to the aggressor state. Yet when dealing with the president of the country that is the victim of the attack, they have been rude and unacceptably offensive.”

  3. Who wanted to put Zelensky in a suit?

    BBC:

    “Just before the heated exchange in the Oval Office, Zelensky faced questioning and comments over his choice to wear combat gear from a conservative journalist. The wardrobe question presaged the argument about thankfulness and respect.
    “Why don’t you wear a suit? Do you own a suit? A lot of Americans have a problem with you not respecting the dignity of the office,” the reporter asked.
    Zelensky has made a habit of wearing sweatshirts, usually adorned with the Ukrainian trident symbol, even when at important meetings with world leaders. He seemed unperturbed by the question.
    “I will wear [a] costume after this war will finish,” he told the reporter. “Maybe something like yours, maybe something better… Maybe something cheaper.”
    The question was posed by Brian Glenn, the chief White House correspondent for Real America’s Voice, a right-wing network with a show line-up chock-full of Trump allies.
    It is unclear how salty the Ukrainian president meant to be in his answer – the word “suit” can be translated into Ukrainian as “kostyum” – and the news conference swiftly moved on.
    But the issue of due respect was at the centre of the full-fledged argument that burst out in the Oval Office just minutes later.”

    And the girlfriend of Brian Glenn is …….. Marjory Taylor-Greene.

    Aka Moscow Marge.
