Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted publicly for the first time since his Oval Office blowup with President Donald Trump on Friday with a social media post thanking the United States.

"Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit," Zelenskyy <a href="https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1895555315716014324" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">posted on X</a>. "Thank you @POTUS. Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that."

The post was Zelenskyy's first comment since a meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance turned into a shouting match at the White House with the three leaders arguing over what "cards" Ukraine holds and whether Zelenskyy has shown enough gratitude to the United States.&nbsp;
