U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance will attend the meeting on Monday between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Oval Office. This comes despite past public criticism from Vance directed at the Ukrainian leader.
Past Tensions and Shifting Dynamics
In February, Vance publicly accused Zelenskyy of a lack of gratitude, asking, “Have you said thank you a single time?” However, the article notes a recent shift, citing a meeting in May between Vance, Zelenskyy, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Italy. Following the meeting, Vance posted a photo of himself and Zelenskyy smiling.
