Thanh Hà |

The heated debate between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House has led to a wave of backlash around the world.

Sharing on social network X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed: " Canada will continue to stand side by side with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people to achieve a just and long-term peace".

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized: "No one wants more peace than the Ukrainian people. That is the reason why we together seek a path towards a long-term and fair peace. Ukraine can trust Germany and Europe."

French President Emmanuel Macron pointed out: "I think we were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia 3 years ago and we should continue to do so. We, that is, the US, Europe, Canada, Japan and many other countries. We must thank everyone who has contributed and respect those who fought from the beginning. Because they are fighting for the dignity, independence, their children and the security of Europe. These are simple things, but in moments like this, they are worth remembering."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesman said that the British leader has maintained unwavering support for Ukraine and is playing his role in seeking a path towards long-term peace, based on sovereignty and security for Ukraine.

Russia also spoken out about the controversy between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on February 28.

Commenting on the controversy between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev - now deputy head of the Russian Security Council - said Zelensky had received "a slapping at the Oval Office".

Meanwhile, Mr. Kirill Dmitriev - head of Russia's direct investment fund - called the tense confrontation between the US and Ukrainian leaders "historic".

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also commented on the controversy, saying that President Trump and Vice President JD Vance restrained themselves in their controversy with President Zelensky.

For his part, Konstantin Kosachyov - Vice Chairman of the Russian Senate - commented that Mr. Zelensky had lost in this round of debate.

Former Kremlin adviser Sergei Markov said the meeting at the White House could accelerate the end of Zelensky's political career.
