The Russian officials on Saturday slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his "unbearable" behaviour after he got involved into a heated verbal argument with the US President Donald Trump and the VP JD Vance in the White House. While extending their support to the US president, the Russian officials stated that Zelenskyy was a "scumbag" who was "biting the hand that fed him".
In a post on Telegram, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticised Zelenskyy, adding that she wondered that how Trump and Vance stopped themselves by not physically confronting the Ukrainian president during the argument. She stated that Trump showed “restraint" by stopping himself even after Zelenskyy confronted him in the Oval Office.
"I think Zelensky’s BIGGEST lie of all his lies is the statement in the White House that the Kiev regime in 2022 was left alone, without support," stated Zakharova in her post on Telegram. "How Trump and Vance restrained themselves and didn’t punch this scumbag is a miracle of endurance,” she added.
'Zelenskyy Recieved A Proper Slap'
Apart from this, Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the deputy head of Russia's Security Council also reacted to the event. He stated that the Ukrainian president was an "isolated pig", and emphasised that he had received “a proper slap down in the Oval Office."
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Medvedev pointed out that Zelenskyy is “gambling with WWIII". “The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office. And @realDonaldTrump is right: The Kiev regime is “gambling with WWIII," Medvedev stated.
Earlier in the meeting, Trump scolded Zelenskyy for allegedly not being "thankful" to the US and reminded him that the Ukrainian President was in no condition to ask for more help. Trump emphasised that the US is also not considering to send a lot of arms to the Ukraine.
