JD vance said Selenskyj that he should “behave” at Trump

The visit of Wolodymyr Selenskyj In the White House at the end of February became a disaster. The Ukrainian President had to be treated like a school boy by US President Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office in front of the world public. Above all, Vance accused him of being “ungrateful” for the support of the United States in the war with Russia.

Vance and Selenskyj met again at the Ukraine summit in Washington-and again the US Vice President apparently gave the Ukrainian head of state of behavioral information. In any case, Vance told it in an interview with the broadcaster Fox News. “Mr President, if they behave, I don’t say anything,” he said Selenskyj before meeting Trump. He obviously alluded to the previous scandal in the White House.

Selenskyj giggled about this remark, reported Vance. It was “a nice icebreaker,” said the Vice President. What Vance interprets as a successful joke is less well received by others. He didn’t speak to Selenskyj for the first time like a toddler, “writes the” New York Times “. The anecdote is another memory of how much the fate of Ukraine depends on how much benevolent Trump and Vance show the Ukrainian president.

The meeting between Selenskyj and the US president this time-at least externally-ran much more harmoniously. Possibly also because this time the Ukrainian president adapted more to Trump’s preferences and wore a suit. “That was the best of our meetings,” said Selenskyj afterwards. “I was able to show all American colleagues a lot about the situation on the battlefield, even on the menu.”

Selenskyj was accompanied by some top European politicians, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for the summit in Washington. Among other things, it was talked about US security guarantees for Ukraine and a direct meeting between Selenskyj and the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
