On February 28, a summit meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House escalated into a heated argument over peace negotiations. President Zelenskyy asserted that Ukraine would not accept a ceasefire agreement without sufficient security guarantees and demanded the return of 20,000 Ukrainian children who had been taken to Russia. Meanwhile, President Trump warned that the U.S. would cut off support unless Ukraine reached an agreement with Russia and criticized Ukraine for its lack of gratitude.
There was also a fierce exchange with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who was present at the meeting. At one point, President Zelenskyy confronted him, saying, "Putin is killing the Ukrainian people. What kind of diplomacy are you talking about?"
In response to this unprecedented meeting, leaders of European countries, including Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and the Netherlands, expressed their support for Ukraine on social media, and President Zelenskyy conveyed his gratitude. He later traveled to London to attend a summit hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, where the UK government reaffirmed its "unwavering support for Ukraine."

2月28日、ホワイトハウスで行われたドナルド・トランプ米大統領とウクライナのウォロディミル・ゼレンスキー大統領の首脳会談は、和平交渉をめぐる激しい口論へと発展した。ゼレンスキー大統領は、ウクライナが十分な安全保障の保証なしに停戦合意を受け入れることはないと主張し、ロシアに連れ去られた2万人のウクライナの子どもたちの帰還を求めた。一方、トランプ大統領は、ウクライナがロシアと合意しない限り、アメリカは支援を打ち切ると警告し、ウクライナの感謝が足りないと非難した。
同席していたJ.D.バンス米副大統領との間でも激しい応酬があり、ゼレンスキー大統領が「プーチンはウクライナ国民を殺している。君はどんな外交について話しているのか」と問い詰める場面もあった。
この異例の会談を受け、ドイツ、フランス、スペイン、ポーランド、オランダなど欧州各国の首脳は次々とソーシャルメディア上でウクライナ支持を表明し、ゼレンスキー大統領も感謝の意を示した。彼はその後、キア・スターマー英首相が主催する首脳会談に出席するためロンドンへ向かい、イギリス首相官邸は「ウクライナへの揺るぎない支持」を強調した。
