Putin's words obviously work, Trump is reported to have had another argument with Zelenskyy, this time even physically.

Trump and Zelenskyy had another argument, but this time it was Zelenskyy who was scolded alone.

Last week, Zelenskyy went to the White House to discuss whether to provide Ukraine with "Tomahawk" missiles, but instead of getting the missiles, he was criticized by Trump.

According to official reports, the atmosphere of this meeting was not as tense as the one in February this year. Trump also praised Zelenskyy's black suit jacket again, calling it "very fashionable."

But a few days after the meeting, an insider revealed that the situation on that day was not as calm as the public thought. During the meeting, Trump cursed repeatedly and scolded Zelenskyy severely.

The insider said that Trump repeated verbatim what he had said to Putin the day before to Zelenskyy, including that Ukraine was losing the war, and if it did not make concessions on territorial issues, Zelenskyy would be "destroyed" by Putin.

As he spoke, Trump even hit Zelenskyy, throwing away the map of Ukraine to the side, saying he had already seen enough, he didn't know where the front lines were, and he had never been there. He only knew that Putin wanted the entire Donbas.

In fact, this was the result after Russia made concessions. In the latest call, Putin told Trump that Russia was willing to give up the parts of Zaporozhye and Kherson territories it had occupied, but there was no room for discussion on Donbas.

From Trump's perspective, Putin had already made concessions, so what else did Zelenskyy want? After the meeting, he even told reporters that the conflict should be frozen at the current front line, which far exceeded Russia's expectations.

For Ukraine, giving up the entire Donbas was obviously unacceptable. As a European official put it, it was equivalent to selling a leg to get a chance to catch its breath.

However, compared to last time, Zelenskyy has become much more mature. He did not argue with Trump face to face, but silently endured his scolding and anger, and took care of his emotions himself, as he himself said, "I am very realistic."
