The White House became the stage for a heated confrontation on Friday as U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a shouting match with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The exchange, which unfolded in front of diplomats and international media, saw the U.S. leaders criticize Zelensky, accusing him of being ungrateful and disrespectful toward the country.
Amid the tense moment, a video of Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, has gone viral on social media. In the brief 12-second clip, Markarova is seen covering her face with her hands in a facepalm gesture while nodding, her expression appearing visibly embarrassed.
Adding to the controversy, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino shared the video on X, mocking Zelensky by labeling him a “complete and total disaster.” “Even the Ukrainian Ambassador knows it,” Scavino remarked.
