Tensions Escalate Between Trump and Zelenskyy After White House Clash

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy faces calls to resign as U.S. debates future military aid and diplomatic fallout intensifies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation in the Oval Office, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of ingratitude for U.S. military aid and demanding progress toward a peace deal with Russia.
Several U.S. Republican leaders, including House Majority Leader Mike Johnson, have suggested Zelenskyy step down if he cannot facilitate negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy has stated he will not resign unless Ukraine is granted NATO membership, emphasizing his commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and security.
European allies expressed support for Zelenskyy during a crisis summit in London, while Russian officials blamed him for the diplomatic fallout, accusing him of lacking willingness to pursue peace.
Trump has scheduled a meeting with top U.S. officials to discuss the potential suspension or termination of military aid to Ukraine, a move that could significantly impact the ongoing conflict.
