By now everyone is talking about the White House meeting of yesterday between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump with Vice President J.D. Vance. Of course, as one might imagine, they are taking partisan sides saying who was at fault for exchanges between the three men. Liberal Democrats are siding with President Zelenskyy while conservative Republicans are siding with President Trump.
But as is typical now, the liberal Democrats are wrong as they do not know all the events leading up to this exchange.
What almost nobody is talking about because few news outlets are reporting on it is Zelenskyy met with a group of U.S. Senators, and a House Representative, before he met with Trump and Vance. This group has been correctly labeled “Warmongers” because they have a personal financial interest in the “War Machine Industry” of this country.
So what was publically reported as “a show of bipartisan support for Ukraine by about a dozen U.S. senators from both parties” was actually a “group of U.S. Senators more interested in perpetuating war than peace”.
However you see them, they met with President Zelenskyy Friday morning at the Hay Adams Hotel for breakfast. From a news clip video on a social media post by Zelenskyy, those Senators appeared to include:
REPUBLICANS:
- Chuck Grassley – Iowa
- Roger Wicker – Mississippi
- Lindsey Graham – South Carolina
DEMOCRATS:
- Richard Blumenthal – New York
- Chris Coons – Connecticut
- Amy Klobuchar – Minnesota
- Chris Murphy – New York
- Rep. Jacky Rosen – Illinois
- Brian Schatz – Michigan
- Chris Van Hollen – Maryland
- Peter Welch – Massachusetts
- Sheldon Whitehouse – New York
After the breakfast meeting Senator Wicker, from Mississippi, who is also chairman of the Armed Services Committee, reported, “Today, several U.S. senators had the opportunity to meet with President Zelenskyy to discuss Ukraine’s future and the mineral deal brokered by President Trump. This is a huge step forward in securing mutual prosperity and peace for Americans and Ukrainians.”
Also very interesting was how South Carolina Lindsey Graham stood solidly with President Trump and Vice President Vance after their White House dustup meeting with Zelenskyy. Graham is a known flip-flopper when things get dicey but yesterday he was not as he concluded in a presser, “He (Zelenskyy) either needs to resign or send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.”
An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.

A starter list of what President Zelenskyy did wrong yesterday was:
- Going back on his word repeatedly.
- Lecturing the Commander-in-Chief like he was an equal.
- The temper tantrum with eye rolling.
- The inappropriate dress for entering the White House.
- The insult that the ocean between the U.S. and Russia is all that is keeping us from invasion.
- The insult that the U.S. will feel what a Russian invasion is like if Ukraine fails.
- Going back on agreeing to sign the peace deal and Ukraine minerals for U.S. money deal.

CONCLUSION:
By now it appears the Democrats in D.C. have been highly proficient thieves and Ukraine was their money laundering center of the world. This appears true to the point Elon Musk and his DOGE team now want to audit every dollar sent to Ukraine and he has a number of good reasons to do so:
- President Zelenskyy claims Ukraine only received around $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid that was sent from the United States.
- The Pentagon “accidentally” paid President Zelenskyy an extra $6.2 billion which the Pentagon now says was “an accounting error”.
- When Barack Obama was president, 90% of Ukraine’s media was financed by USAID and a CIA-backed coup took place to topple the existing government.
- President Zelenskyy is reported to be one of the top 50 richest politicians in the world; He is said to own 15 homes (one a $35 million dollar home in Florida), has $1.2 billion in bank accounts overseas, owns 3 private jets and 3 yachts, and has a monthly income of $11 million.
- President Zelenskyy and former president Obama were said to have jointly established 18 bio-weapons labs (similar to the Wuhan, China, lab) within Ukraine for reasons unknown.
- Before the war began Ukraine was reported as being the most corrupt country in Eastern Europe widely known for money laundering.
- Ukraine has been known for a Nazi influence since WW-II
Secretary of State Marco Rubio did a good job explaining what happened behind the scene of yesterday to cause the meeting at the White House to result in President Zelenskyy being asked to leave by President Trump before being served a planned lunch.

The Ukrainian and Russian people deserve peace. Too many young men and innocent citizens have lost their lives on both sides in a war that seemingly has no point.
President Zelenskyy has said Russia wants to take over Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he invaded Ukraine as part of a “Denatzification” campaign.
