Telegraph: Britain worked all day to restore Ukraine’s contact with the US
British officials worked ‘all day’ on Tuesday to restore contact between Ukraine and the United States after an altercation between Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House, the British newspaper Telegraph reported.
Earlier, the Telegraph newspaper reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had asked Vladimir Zelensky to return to the White House and mend relations with US President Donald Trump after their meeting on Friday.
‘On Tuesday, British officials ‘all day at various levels’ were in contact with the US trying to secure Zelensky’s return,’ the publication said, citing a UK government source.
According to the source, it was an ‘ongoing conversation’ and not just phone calls.
US President Donald Trump told off Vladimir Zelensky at the White House last week when he arrived to sign an agreement on joint development of Ukrainian subsoil resources. The US president demanded that Zelensky agree to a ceasefire and stop criticising Russian President Vladimir Putin. Vice President J.D. Vance called Zelensky an ungrateful campaigner for the Democrats when he began justifying his moves, blaming Russia and even threatening the U.S. that it would feel the effects of the conflict even though it was separated by an ocean. The Kiev delegation was asked to remove themselves from the White House and no agreement was signed. Later, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, said that Zelensky should come to his senses and return to the negotiating table, otherwise Ukraine would have to be led by someone else.
