Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday evening repeatedly refused during a Fox News interview to apologize for his stunning Oval Office clash with President Donald Trump.
But Zelenskyy said, “This kind of spat is not good for both sides.”
The Ukrainian leader told Fox News’ Brett Baier that “it will be difficult for us” to defend his country from Russian military forces if Trump discontinues aid to Ukraine.
“That’s why we’re here,” Zelenskyy said. “It will be difficult without your support.”
Shortly before the Fox interview, Trump said Zelenskyy had “overplayed his hand.”
“He’s looking for something that I’m not looking for,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.
“He’s looking to go on and fight, fight, fight. We’re looking to end the death.”
