(WASHINGTON, DC – March 9, 2025) – Is this truly what America stands for? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat in the Oval Office and was publicly berated by both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. In front of the media, they essentially told him that he had no right to an opinion—especially one that didn’t align with their administration.
