Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it is important that his country's plight "is not forgotten" after an explosive Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Europe either needs to "step up" or Zelenskyy needs to "step down" after testy Oval Office meeting, according to Ukraine observers who saw the fiery exchange at the White House.

Trump, sitting between Zelenskyy and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office, told reporters that France and the United Kingdom are willing to help Ukraine with security. Leaders from both nations — President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer — met with Trump in the last two weeks.
