US President Donald Trump during a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in the White House insisted on halting the Ukraine conflict while Zelensky wanted money for it to continue, American entrepreneur Elon Musk who is in charge of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said.

'Trump pushed for a ceasefire that would have stopped the meat grinder.

Zelensky wanted it to continue with the money,' he said in a commentary on the X social network.

On February 28, Zelensky arrived at the White House for a meeting with Trump.

A remarkable shouting match broke out in the Oval Office on Friday between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, who was hoping to appeal to the US for continued security assistance during his trip to Washington.
