Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spent the last 24 hours making a public showing of gratitude by thanking leaders across the globe for their outpouring of support after Vice President Vance accused him of being ungrateful for U.S. support amid the country’s war against Russia.
Zelensky shared his appreciation with the presidents of Switzerland, Finland, Estonia, Romania, Latvia and the Netherlands, in addition to prime ministers from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, and many more, in separate posts that have overtaken his feed on X.
“Thank you for your support,” he wrote in response to several world leaders.
Zelensky also made a point to thank the United States.
“We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I’m thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion,” Zelensky wrote in a Friday statement following a heated debate that led to his departure from the White House.
“Our relationship with the American President is more than just two leaders; it’s a historic and solid bond between our peoples. That’s why I always begin with words of gratitude from our nation to the American nation,” he added in a separate post.
The leader also posted a video highlighting the positives from the contentious Oval Office meeting. Before he met with President Trump, Zelensky shared a Feb. 12 post acknowledging his gratitude for a strategic partnership with the Republican leader specifically.
His efforts are being lauded by leaders across the globe who support Ukraine’s refusal to bow to Moscow’s aggression after years of repeated invasions. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a loan for approximately $3 billion on Saturday in an effort to support Ukraine’s efforts on the frontline.
It still remains unclear if Trump will be open to further negotiations that include Zelensky or if he will approve additional funds for security assistance.
