Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who went to the USA to sign the precious metals agreement, faced an unexpected attitude. Tensions rose between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the White House, and the two argued in front of the cameras.

ZAHAROVA: IT'S A MIRACLE THEY DIDN'T PUNCH ZELENSKY

Following the incident that made headlines around the world, statements that would escalate tensions came from Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated in a social media post, "It is a complete miracle that they did not punch Zelensky. I think Zelensky's biggest lie was the claim that the Kiev regime was left alone and did not receive support in 2022 at the White House."

Dmitry Medvedev, known as one of the closest figures to Putin and Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, shared that "Zelensky was slapped as he deserved in the Oval Office." Addressing Trump, Medvedev said: "This is useful but not enough. Military support needs to be stopped. The widespread opinion of the Russian people is that this discussion is positive and that Zelensky deserved it."

I truly believe that a common solution will be found for this situation and, of course, it will be beneficial for our country. This is the most important thing. Zelensky, with his adventurous attitude and a unique arrogance towards Ukraine, attacked Trump. Neither Trump nor his team liked this. Vance also responded quite harshly to him. So he got what he deserved.

However, some Russians emphasize that this does not reflect the truth. I understand very well that some serious issues, long-term intentions, and real matters are not resolved in such meetings. I think real politics is conducted behind the scenes.
