Which place doesn’t respected, were possible to leave quickly.
Those two has no morals or ethics,integrity or principles they have both disgraced America and the Oval Office but don’t expect any thing better fro those two,they came from no where they’re like gutter rats
Lets not forget that the BBC was funded by large USAID grants…
Dont expect them to be unbiased as they have lost a million dollar revenue source.
☘️ We must stay with the facts. The war was started by a US-NATO cabal of criminals under the lead of the Obama-Biden administration. As a result, the US is no longer part of the family of nations. Under Biden it sunk to an all-time low and totally isolated itself. Is this not what Trump is trying to salvage? And with Zelenskyy rooted in his way? Note the most recent encounter with this king of clowns in the White House. The Oval Office team seems to have come out on top. But it wasn't an easy task following an era of fools leading fools unable to see coke-crazed Zelenskyy again in town to milk the US taxpayers dry. Shame upon Starmer giving him backing. This war will be finally over when the clowns in his audience grievously weep for what they've supported and done. ☘️ Where are you now, Ursula von der Crazy? Over 1.5 million soldiers already dead? What now, BoJo? Your clown having lost himself to the part? And unable to stop? All those supporting his unnecessary war knowing they've disgraced themselves for all time to come? Thankfully, there's more to our beautiful world than these fools of a crazed and decadent West collectively cascading themselves into Hell. ☘️
Nazi from Ukrainę on Cocaine plan to kill 10 mln europeians Briliant
Trump is a disgrace. Europe and UK must step up to the line
Zelensky took the dress-code cue from President Musk.
Agreed 🎉🎉my personal opinions: 1.1)Ukraine not scapegoat of WWIII ~ Trump wrong; 1.2)no pay no protection vs. mercy on lost sold+iers ~ businessman for advantage of rare earth as predator Putin; 2.1)between two presidents no place for VP; 2.2)purposely pick a fight with irrelevant subject which knowingly agitating to show Ukraine breaks the deal that is not acceptable already; 3.1)Z laid out this deal is not protecting only advantage of Trump; 3.2)Z knowing fought the fight to show the world how arrogant and superficial this deal is 🎉
European nations should condemn Donald trump’s behavior against Zelensky
Welcome to a country that supports you and your citizens
Cocaine Nose
It was a planned attack on Zelensky .. why would there else be a Russian reporter? The White house said that the Russian reporter was not allowed to be there and was escorted out AFTER Trump and Vance attacked Zelensky … Trump wanted to livestream it all on Russia TV. This is so sad 🙁
Typical BBC reporting
Zelinski is very ungrateful person he's just used to getting money from President Biden with no questions ask so when somebody asked for thank you he doesn't even know how to say thank you and he doesn't even dress like a diplomat dress like he's gonna go be a gangster someplace that's what he looks like unprofessional the way he act very sad for the whole country ❤😢!!!
What can Starmer do to help Zelensky? He should direct the flight to Beijing and knock on Xi's door; perhaps stand a better chance to strike a fairer deal.
The Russian bots are strong here, venture at your own risk
soooo much respect for selenskyj!! very rarely seen a human being with so much integrity and guts!!! as a European i feel like it has been loooong overdue to finally act for real!! Europe is sooo much stronger than it claims to be. we dont need an insane person like Trump to negotiate anything. i just hope soo much that (the most possible fair) peace will finally come for Ukraine! it deserves it sooo much!!!💜
Britain must immediately cancel his state visit to our country
Zelensky made a donkey of himself
Europe is kneeling to Corrupted russia
The biggest clown on Earth Colonal Gnaldo Drumpf and his newly adopted son JD Vance show! Tasteless as his *locker room talk" show.
Misery loves company 💩🤝💩🪠
Then Zelensky ran under the skirt of his fairy godmother Keir Starmer.
Thank you God Jesus for our Prime Minister Keir Starmer & his kindness & comfort to President Zelenskyy thank you sir massive respect to you & our King
Vance is Dog.
I watched the entire press conference with Zelensky. There was 40 minutes of discussion up to the argument. Most people saw at most the last ten minutes. The whole video gives the proper context.
When I first watched the argument without the proper context, I thought it was possible that Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky or were even trying to humiliate him. That's not what happened.
You had 40 minutes of calm conversation. Vance made a point that didn't attack Zelensky and wasn't even addressed to him, and Zelensky clearly started the argument.
In the first 40 minutes, Zelensky kept trying to go beyond what was negotiated in the deal. When Trump was asked a question, it was always "we'll see." Zelensky made blanket assertions that there would be no negotiating with Putin, and that Russia would pay for the war. When Trump said that it was a tragedy that people on both sides were dying, Zelensky interjected that the Russians were the invaders.
For his part, Trump made clear that the US would continue delivering military aid. All Zelensky had to do was remain calm for a few more minutes and they would've signed a deal.
The argument started when Trump pointed out that it would be hard to make a deal if you talk about Putin the way Zelensky does. Vance interjects to make the reasonable point that Biden called Putin names and that didn't get us anywhere.
The Zelensky/Trump dynamic was calm and stable. It was when Vance spoke that Zelensky started to interrogate him. Throughout the press conference to that point, everyone was making their arguments directly to the audience. Zelensky decided to challenge Vance and ask him hostile questions. He went back to his point that Putin never sticks to ceasefires, once again implying that negotiations are pointless. Why on earth would you do this? Then came the fight we all saw.
Zelensky was minutes away from being home free, and he would have had the deal and new commitments from the Trump administration. The point Vance made was directed against Biden and the media, taking them to task for speaking in moralistic terms. This offended Zelensky, and that began the argument.
I've been a fan of Zelensky up to this point, but this showed so much incompetence, if not emotional instability, that I don't see how he recovers from this. The relationship with the administration is broken. Ukraine should probably go with new leadership at this point….
Americans are celebrating today! The war in Ukraine ended yesterday (for us). Good luck Europe.
When Putin praises Trump, Vance and Rubio then you better believe you are not doing something right.
What do the Ukrainians get in return? They already received it through a "buy now pay later" plan. Personally I feel Little Russia should be part of Russia again and if the wishy washy paper leaders of Euro don't want that they should get off their lazy, chicken sh*t asses and do something about it instead of the US.
Ahhh here coming to getting more money
Why is there no report about freed Israeli hostage Noa Argamani telling the UN that the IDF killed a fellow hostage and that Hamas saved her life?
The only country in Europe that has a real man and a real leader is Poland.
The rest are simply wimpy men or women that think the world is filled with pinky fluffy things that just need cuddles.. .yey lets make rainbows YEY!!!
cuddles cuddles… lets all cuddle YEY!!!!
whilst our enemies build weapons and plan to destroy europe.
ffs kick the la la's out of leadership and put real leaders in.
It was disgusting to see Ukrainian President Zelensky being bullied by Trump and Vance, these two evil-minded mobsters.
Of course it was deliberate. Trump literally admitted at the end that he dragged this thing on intentionally so that people could see this.
They think they've humiliated Zelensky, but they've really only humiliated themselves, as proven by the outpouring of support for Ukraine from leaders across the world.
This trash spread Joe Biden , not trump
ZELENSKY got threatened by both of them, speaking UKRAINES FUTURE… ZELENSKY STOOD HIS GROUND..TRUMP TRYING TO DICTATE BUT GOT PIMPED…TRUMPS DEAL IS NOT OF PEACE BUT A DECEITFUL HOSTILE SIGN OVER HIS COUNTRY BS.

Eggs are expensive in the US because all the Chickens are in Congress
The head of a warring state goes to the leader of a nation of warmongers. Nothing useful nor good will come of this.
Who cars . Trump is best
Fck america
Zelenskyy will get asylum in UK.
The European Union will help Ukraine until it loses its stability and fights for independence like Palestine. If the European Union wanted to help Ukraine in its interests, it would have already granted Ukraine NATO membership, but it would not have been anti-Russian, so it would have been of no use to the European Union.
