Joe Biden is no longer here: Levitt voiced the new US policy towards Ukraine.

The White House press secretary accused the president of Ukraine of provoking a conflict with the US vice president during their meeting. This occurred in the context of the new Trump administration policy regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war.

“It was President Zelensky, if you look at the recording, who actually set the vice president against himself right in front of the cameras and started an argument with him,” Levitt said, commenting on the recent meeting.

The White House press secretary emphasized the position of the American administration on Fox News: “As President Trump said, I think it was great that the cameras were rolling because the American people and the whole world saw what President Trump and his team were facing behind closed doors in negotiations with Ukrainians.”

Levitt considers the Ukrainian side to be 'incredibly stubborn' and emphasizes that Trump has an interest in achieving peace. 'To negotiate peace, both sides need to sit at the table, both sides need to talk, and both sides in a good deal usually walk away a little dissatisfied. President Zelensky does not acknowledge this,' she adds.

The press secretary also highlights the difference between the approaches of the new and previous US administrations: “And again, this is not the previous administration. Joe Biden is no longer in the Oval Office. We are no longer going to just write checks for a war happening far away without real solid peace. And that’s what the president wants.”

Earlier, Trump criticized Zelensky in a new statement: “He can come back when he is ready for peace.”
