The Ukrainian leader’s visit to the White House descended into a shouting match with President Trump and Vice President Vance

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has defended his behavior at the White House, saying he is not sure whether he “did anything bad,” following a tense exchange with US President Donald Trump and VP J.D. Vance. He was responding to a question by Fox News’ Bret Baier on whether he should apologize for what Trump described as disrespect toward the American people.

In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Zelensky was asked whether he felt he had disrespected Trump, Vance, and the American people. He responded by first expressing gratitude for all the assistance the US has provided, but insisted that “tough dialogue” is necessary between “strategic partners.”

“And even in such tough dialogue, I think we have to be very honest, and we have to be very direct to understand each other,” Zelensky said.

When Baier pressed him again on whether he “owed an apology,” Zelensky denied that he did anything wrong.

“No, I respect the president, and I respect the American people… I’m not sure we did anything bad,” Zelensky said, adding that some matters should be discussed privately.
