Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will give a live interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier just hours after his disastrous meeting in the Oval Office Friday with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance over ending Russia’s war on Ukraine. The interview is scheduled to air at 6 p.m. EST on the Fox News Channel.
Trump ordered Zelensky out of the White House, canceling a lunch and press conference that was meant to mark the signing of a mineral deal between the U.S. and Ukraine, after Zelensky argued with Trump and Vance for several minutes over the war and U.S. support.
Zelensky then canceled an appearance at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. that was scheduled for 4 p.m. There were also reports Zelensky canceled a 6:30 p.m. appearance at Ukraine House in the Kalorama neighborhood of D.C. that is home to many embassies and diplomats. The Fox interview appears to be the only appearance left uncancelled.

The fallout was so bad from the Oval Office blow-out that even Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lost support for Zelensky.
“I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again.”
United States Senator Lindsey Graham called the meeting between the US president and his Ukrainian counterpart “a complete and utter disaster”.https://t.co/y4AbwWNXQt
