• Vans talks about the Trump administration’s approach to the behavior of diplomacy as the best option.
• Zellinski: What kind of diplomacy ask JD? What do you mean?
• Vans: I am talking about the diplomacy that will end the subsequent destruction in your country.
• Zellinski: Yes, but if …
• Vans: Mr. President, with respect, I see that it is inappropriate for you to come to the White Office and try to argue with this in front of the media in the United States. Now your men are moving to force recruits to go to the front lines because you have many problems. You have to thank the president.
• Zellinski: Have you ever visited Ukraine to find out the problems we face?
• Vans: I have seen stories and realized what is happening: You take people on a propaganda journey.
• Vans: Do you agree with me that you have a problem in recruiting people and do you think that it is appropriate to come to the US -American bureau and attack the administration that is trying to avoid the destruction of your country?
• Zellinski: First during the war, everyone faces problems, even you. You have beautiful solutions and do not feel it now, but you will feel it in the future.

• Trump: You don’t know that. Do not tell us what we will feel. We are trying to find a solution to a problem. Do not tell us what we will feel.
• Zellinski: I do not tell you, I respond …
• Vans: This is precisely what you are doing …
• Trump raised his voice: I am not in a site where you can dictate what we will feel. We will have a very comfortable and very strong feeling.
• Zelenxi tries to boycott it.
• Trump: You are now not very good. You put yourself in a very bad situation. You don’t have the papers today. With us I have papers. You are risking the lives of millions of people, risking a third world war, and what you are doing is a lack of respect for this country.

• Vans: Did you thank even once?
• Zellinski: several times.
• Vans: No, I mean during this meeting, throughout this meeting, did you say thanks once? I went to Pennsylvania and participated in an opposition campaign in October, and did not mention a single word of appreciation to the United States. He expressed some gratitude to the United States of America and the president who is trying to save your country.
• Zellinski: Yes, you think that if he had spoken loudly about the war …
• Trump: He does not speak loudly. Your country is in a great dilemma. No, you have spoken a lot. Your country is in a great dilemma.
• Zellinski: I know that. I know that.
• Trump: You don’t win, you have a good opportunity to get out appropriately thanks to us.
• Zellinski: We have maintained our strength from the beginning of the war. We were alone and say, and I said, thank you.
• Trump speaking in conjunction with Zelinski: You are not alone, we have provided you with military equipment. Your men are brave, but they had our army. If you did not get our military equipment, the war would have ended within two weeks .. two days.
• Zellinski: I heard it from Putin … within 3 days.
• Trump: It will be very difficult to negotiate this way.
• Vans: Say thanks.
• Zellinski: I said it several times.
• Vans: I accept that there are differences, and to solve these differences instead of trying to confront in front of the American media when you are wrong. And we know that you are wrong.
• Trump: Your people die for many. Listen … then tell us I want a ceasefire, and I do not want a ceasefire, I want to go, I want this and that “(…).
• Trump: Do not act as if you are grateful, and this is not nice. I will be frank, this is not a nice thing. I think we were satisfied. A good television moment. What is your opinion?
