Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says Trump and Vance not ‘smacking this bastard Zelensky’ was a ‘miracle of restraint’ in heated Oval Office meeting
Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has responded to a heated exchange on Friday in the Oval Office between the Ukrainian and American presidents that ended with Volodymyr Zelensky leaving the White House without signing a planned agreement on shared mineral rights:
I think Zelensky’s BIGGEST lie, among all his lies, was his statement at the White House that the Kyiv regime was left alone, without support, in 2022. How Trump and Vance managed to restrain themselves and not smack this bastard — it’s a miracle of self-control.
Earlier in the day, Kirill Dmitriev, chief of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and a lead negotiator in U.S.-Russian talks that took place earlier this month in Saudi Arabia, called the Oval Office argument “historic.”
