Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his explosive Oval Office meeting with Donal Trump on Friday was "regrettable", in his first public remarks since the US announced a pause in military aid to Kyiv. "Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be," he wrote in a post on X.

Donald Trump’s firebrand press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said it was “incredibly refreshing” to watch her boss and his deputy publicly humiliate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the whole world.
