Elina Svitolina reveals her 'mood' after Donald Trump's tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

Elina Svitolina recently made time to tune in for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's televised Oval Office meeting with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The meeting was intended to conclude in Trump and Zelensky signing a minerals deal in exchange for America's continued support amid the Ukraine-Russia war, but it ended in a furious exchange.

The meeting turned contentious when Vance accused Zelensky of being "disrespectful" and berated him for not expressing enough gratitude to Donald Trump, who he believed was trying to "save" Ukraine

"Have you said 'thank you' once in the entire meeting? In the entire meeting, have you said 'thank you?' … Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America — and the president who’s trying to save your country," Vance said.

Trump also blamed Zelensky for "gambling with World War Three" and asserted that the Ukrainian President was not "acting thankful" for the aid given to his country by the United States.

"You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War Three. You’re gambling with World War Three, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have," Trump said.

Following the contentious meeting, Donald Trump ordered that the Ukrainian delegation be told to leave the White House.

Subsequently, Elina Svitolina took to social media and displayed her "mood" with a meme that depicted ears bleeding. The Ukrainian also shared a post taking a dig at Donald Trump for asking Volodymyr Zelensky to be grateful for America's support.

Furthermore, Svitolina highlighted that leaders from European countries like Germany, Italy, Belgium, and more had reiterated their commitment to supporting Ukraine after Zelensky's tense exchange with Trump.

"Ukraine above all," she wrote on her Instagram story.
