Chapter 1: How did Zelenskyy respond to Trump during the Fox interview?
Ukrainian President Zelensky just gave an interview with Fox where he addressed the Oval Office meeting where Donald Trump and J.D. Vance laundered Russian propaganda to attack and yell at Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of the world media where Zelensky held his ground. pushed back against Trump and J.D. Vance and strongly defended Ukraine, as well as democracies across the country.
Zelensky was asked by Bret Baier of Fox if he would apologize to Donald Trump on camera, to which Zelensky said, no, what am I going to apologize for? I did not do something bad. Watch this. During all these years, 10 years,
So I'm not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the president an apology.
No, I respect the president and I respect American people. And if I don't know if I think that we have to be very open and very honest and I'm not sure that we did something bad. I think maybe sometimes some some some things we have to discuss out of out of media with all respect to democracy and to free media.
But there are things where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And I think that is the most important thing.
Folks, President Zelensky is standing on business. He talks about how he respects America. He respects the American people, but he's not going to capitulate to Vladimir Putin, who's trying to wipe Ukraine off the face of the map. Here, Bret Baier asks Zelensky if he thinks his public spat in the Oval Office, that's how they're framing it on Fox, would serve Ukrainians well.
And Zelensky said, let me just be very clear. Putin is a killer. I'm not going to say nice things about Putin. Play the clip.
Do you think the public spat in the Oval Office in front of the media served Ukrainians well today?
I think this kind of this kind of spat is is I mean, this we have I mean, this is not good for both sides anyway. And I'm very open, but I can't, you know, change our Ukrainian attitude to Russian. And I don't want they kill us for us. You know, this is very, very clear that Americans are the best of our friends. Europeans are the best of our friends. And Putin with Russian, their enemies.

Chapter 2: Did Zelenskyy apologize to Trump on camera?
Then Donald Trump keeps talking about the cards, the cards, you can't embolden somebody that doesn't have the cards. Play this clip.
Look, I don't trust or distrust anybody. I just want to get a deal done. And if the deal happens, good. But you can't embolden somebody that does not have the cards. And all of a sudden that person says, oh, well, now I can keep fighting. We're not going to keep fighting. You're going to get the war done or let them go and see what happens. Let them fight it out.
Then you had Ukrainian parliament member right here, Rudik, and he or she talks about the American people don't tell Ukraine who should be their leader or not. Play this clip.
Kirill, what is your reaction to hearing Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and even others within the administration saying that Zelensky would have to fundamentally change his point of view or potentially step down?
With all due respect, in Ukraine, we elect our own presidents and we are known to start revolutions if we think that they are not acting at our best interest. So it's not up to Russian president or American president or American officials to tell Ukrainian people who should be our president.
And here the Ukrainian parliament member says, we hope Zelensky knows that he had the full support of the Ukrainian people in parliament. Play this clip.
But on a personal level, I just really hoped that when he was in the Oval Office and standing up to President Trump, that he knew and felt that his country is behind him and his people are behind him.
Kira Rudick, thank you so much for sharing your perspective. We appreciate you joining us.
Thank you, and glory to Ukraine. Here she is again, play this clip. Thank you so much for having me. Well, indeed, today is a very unfortunate day, and the positions of President Zelensky and President Trump cannot... cannot be moved closer to each other because President Zelensky is representing the country that is at war.
