“What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you talking about?” Zelenskyy said. “What do you mean?”

“I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country,” Vance said.

“You’ve been to Ukraine, what problems do you think we’re having?” Zelenskyy said.

“I actually looked at the story and I know what happened to you bring people, you take them on a propaganda tour,” Vance said. “Sir President, do you disagree with the problem you had when you brought people into your army? Do you think it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the government trying to prevent the destruction that caused your country?”

“Ukrainian President Zelenskyy can end the war with Russia almost immediately, or he can continue fighting,” Trump said in a Sunday post on social media. “Remember how it started. Not back to Obama gave Crimea (12 years ago, no shots!), nor was he entered NATO by Ukraine. Some things never change!!!”

Even so, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that Putin has agreed to allow the United States and other European allies to provide firm protection for Ukraine, similar to the protection provided under NATO’s Article 5 common defense clause.

“We are able to win the concession that the United States can provide protection similar to Article 5, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be NATO,” Witkov said in an interview with CNN.
