Afrasianet - The White House has seen  a sharp clash between US President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance on the one hand, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the other.

Donald Trump told Volodymyr Zelensky that he was not ready for peace, that his country was in trouble and that it was not winning the war, and that Zelensky should be grateful and agree to a ceasefire.

Vice President J.D. Vance said it was disrespectful for Zelenskiy to come to the White House and argue in front of the US media.

Here are the details of the tense verbal altercation that took place at the White House between Trump and Zelensky:

•    Vance talks about the Trump administration's approach to diplomacy as the best option.

•    Zelenskiy: What kind of diplomacy do you ask JD about? What do you mean?

•    Vance: I'm talking about diplomacy that will end the devastation of your country.

•    Zelensky: yes, but if...

•    VANCE: Mr. President, with all due respect, I think it's inappropriate on your part to come to the White Office and try to argue this in front of the media in the United States. Now your men are moving to force recruits to go to the front lines because you have problems on the many levels. You have to thank the president.

•    Zelensky: Have you ever visited Ukraine to find out what problems we face?

•    VANCE: I've seen stories and I realize what's going on: You take people on a propaganda trip, Mr. President.

•    Vance: Do you agree with me that you have a problem recruiting people and do you think it is appropriate to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to avoid the destruction of your country?

•    Zelensky: First of all, during the war, everyone has problems, even you. You have beautiful solutions that you don't feel now, but you will feel them in the future.

•    TRUMP: You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We try to find a solution to a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

•    Zelensky: I'm not telling you, I'm replying...

•    FANCE: That's exactly what you do...

•    Trump raising his voice: I'm not in a position where you can tell us how we're going to feel. And we're going to feel very comfortable and very strong.

•    Zelenksy tries to interrupt him.

•    TRUMP: Now you're not in a very good position. You've put yourself in a very bad position. You don't have the papers at the moment. With us you have papers. You risk the lives of millions of people, you risk a third world war, and what you are doing shows disrespect for this country. Vance: Have you thanked you once?

•    Zelensky: Many times.

•    FANCE: No, I mean during this meeting, throughout this meeting, did you say thank you once? I went to Pennsylvania and participated in an opposition campaign in October, and you didn't mention a single word of appreciation to the United States, I express some gratitude to the United States of America and the president who is trying to save your country.

•    Zelenskiy: Yes, you think if he spoke out loud about war...

•    TRUMP: He doesn't speak out loud. Your country is in big trouble. No, I've talked a lot. Your country is in big trouble.

•    Zelensky: I know that, I know that.

•    TRUMP: You're not winning, you have a good chance of getting out of that appropriately thanks to us.

•    Zelensky: We have been maintaining our strength since the beginning of the war, we have been alone and we say and I said thank you.

•    Trump speaking in conjunction with Zelensky: You were not alone, we provided you with military equipment. Your men are brave, but they had our army. If you hadn't got our military equipment, the war would have ended in two weeks.. two days.

•    Zelensky: I heard it from Putin.. within 3 days.

•    TRUMP: It's going to be very difficult to negotiate like that.

•    Vance: Say thanks.

•    Zelensky: I've said it many times.

•    Vance: I accept that there are differences, and let's resolve those differences instead of trying to confront in front of the American media when they are wrong. And we know you're wrong.

•    Trump: Your people are dying. You have a shortage of many. Listen... Then you tell us I want a ceasefire, I don't want a ceasefire, I want to go, I want this and that."

•    TRUMP: Don't act like you're grateful, and that's not nice. I'll be honest that's not nice. I think we've had enough. Good TV moment. What do you think?
