28.02.2025 ⇢ Day Ukraine Peace Crashed In Oval Room
⌨
The morning brought reports of new Epstein files and a judge's ruling against federal workforce cuts. A planned minerals-for-security deal with Ukraine dominated coverage, as Zelenskyy arrived at the White House.
By afternoon, the Oval Office meeting deteriorated into confrontation. Trump and Vance berated Zelenskyy over his reluctance to accept peace terms, with Trump warning about "gambling with World War III." The Ukrainian leader left without signing the minerals agreement, effectively ending negotiations that had been developing since Tuesday.
Evening coverage revealed institutional responses, with some GOP representatives rebuking Trump's handling of the meeting. Trump called for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, marking a shift from previous US positions. Separately, Gene Hackman's death investigation continued, with pacemaker data indicating February 17 as the date of death.
