A tense moment unfolded in the Oval Office as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly tried to speak over President Trump and Senator J.D. Vance, sparking an awkward reaction from his own ambassador.
As Trump and Vance discussed U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Zelensky repeatedly cut in—prompting Ukraine’s ambassador to cover her face in apparent embarrassment.
Observers say the moment symbolized a turning point in U.S.-Ukraine relations. “She knows it’s all over,” one source remarked, as Trump made it clear he would not back down from reassessing America’s role in the conflict.
