Summary
Protests erupted across the U.S. in response to Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Oval Office bullying of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Demonstrators gathered in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, waving Ukrainian flags and demanding continued U.S. support for Ukraine.
In Vermont, protesters disrupted Vance’s ski trip, criticizing his stance. Many labeled the White House meeting an “ambush” and condemned Trump’s ultimatum to Ukraine.
The protests reflected growing public frustration over the administration’s shifting stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.
Biden gave Ukraine $120 billion for defense against the invasion.
He gave $18 billion to Israel and $2 billion to Gaza.
