President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "make a deal" or risk the U.S. pulling support. Trump warned Zelenskyy that Ukraine was "gambling with World War III," adding that his comments had been "very disrespectful." 

The U.S. president also advised Zelenskyy to "be thankful" for the support Ukraine has received.

Zelenskyy pointed out that the war launched by Russia had been ongoing since 2014, and no one had effectively stopped Putin's aggression. In a rebuttal to Vance’s call for diplomacy, Zelenskyy remarked, "I have already signed an agreement with Putin, in the presence of Macron and Merkel. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about here?"

Radip Response 47, an accounted connected to the White House, shared a clip of the clash between the officials.
