Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his explosive Oval Office meeting with Donal Trump on Friday was "regrettable", in his first public remarks since the US announced a pause in military aid to Kyiv. "Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be," he wrote in a post on X.

The Trump administration has reportedly paused all military aid to Ukraine. The decision, reported by Bloomberg News, comes after a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday descended into chaos, the latest in a larger fraying of the U.S.-Ukraine alliance.

The fallout from the heated exchange sparked criticism from Ukraine-backing lawmakers as well as praise from Republican supporters of the U.S. president.
