Zelensky also stated that Russia has launched an attack on the Zaporizhzhia and Pokrovsk regions, mentioning that a large number of soldiers have been sent to the front.
IT WAS NOT SIGNED DUE TO THE TRUMP-ZELENSKY CONFLICT
U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a dispute in front of cameras during their meeting in the Oval Office on February 28, leading to the cancellation of a joint press conference that was announced to take place later. Zelensky left the White House alone, and the rare earth elements agreement was not signed. Trump claimed that Zelensky "disrespected the American people," while Zelensky stated that he had not done anything wrong to apologize for.
