Ukraine’s president says after Oval Office meltdown that when delicate talks are in public ‘foes can take advantage’
A defiant but tactful President Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to apologise to Donald Trump after Friday’s spat in the White House, and declared that the row in the Oval Office “did not bring anything positive” to peace for Ukraine.
Speaking to journalists only in Ukrainian at the end of a two-day visit to the UK, the president said that when such delicate negotiations are held in public “foes can take advantage of them” though he said he hoped the row would eventually pass.
