The Prime Minister of Norway:

The White House releases new statement on the Zelensky meeting.

It focuses on Ukraine’s mobilization problems, the risk of WW3 and Trump’s aid for Ukraine during his first term in office

NBC News reports that the U.S. State Department terminated a USAID Initiative this week, which previously supported the restoration of Ukraine’s Energy Grid

According to White House Officials who spoke to CBS News, following the argument in the Oval Office between U.S. President Donald J. Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky; the Ukrainian delegation retreated into a nearby room, where they were then told they had to leave the White House by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

According to Fox News, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is still set to be interviewed by them at 6 p.m. Eastern Time after the heated exchange between President Zelensky, U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance at the White House.

What happened at the White House was, unsurprisingly, closely watched in the Kremlin.

Here, we see Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president, echoing Trump’s accusations against Zelensky.

If anyone came out stronger today, it was Putin—and I can’t help but wonder whether this entire spectacle was coordinated in advance.

Meanwhile, Trump sent a clear message to Europe and the so-called U.S. “allies”: the era of strong alliances is over. The world is now shifting back to a dangerously pre-WWI-like configuration, with loosely held alliances and nations rapidly rearming.

Zelensky issues statement:

“Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you POTUS, Congress, and the American people.

Ukraine needs just and lasting peace and we are working exactly for that”

The exact moment when the meeting between Zelensky and Trump went off the rails.

It was after this intervention from Vice President JD Vance that the previously cordial atmosphere was replaced by tension and outright hostility.

In this clip, Zelensky states that Putin violated ceasefire agreements by attacking in 2022, as well as prisoner exchange agreements, which is why Ukraine does not trust Russian diplomacy. At this point, Vance aggressively steps in, accusing Zelensky of being disrespectful for coming to the White House and "discussing this in the media."

Vance then launches a series of attacks aimed at destabilizing the meeting.

The Press Conference between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where the “Rare Earth Minerals Deal” was expected to be signed, has now been cancelled, as Zelensky’s Motorcade arrives at the West Wing of the White House.

Trump cancels the meeting, press conference & signing of a minerals deal with Zelensky

He says Zelensky isn’t ready for peace because he feels an advantage in negotiations thanks to US involvement.

Trump says Zelensky can come back to D.C. when he’s ready for peace

White House staff escorted a TASS correspondent out of the Oval Office. The Russian propagandist attempted to attend Zelensky and Trump’s briefing but wasn’t on the list of accredited media. Press officials swiftly intervened, removing him from the room, Reuters reports.

The meeting between Zelensky and Trump was going smoothly until Vice President JD Vance stepped in.

In this clip, Vance accuses Zelensky of not being grateful enough for the aid sent by the U.S. In another moment, Vance provocatively states that "there are no men in Ukraine," to which Zelensky fires back: "Then come and see."

At this point, Trump intervenes, defending his VP and accusing Zelensky of not respecting the U.S.
