Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refused to apologize to President Trump during his recent interview on Fox News.
Fox News host Bret Baier asked Zelensky, on Friday night, if he would apologize to President Trump after he publicly disrespected the 45th President during their recent meeting in the Oval Office.
Zelensky responded by saying, ““No, I respect the president and I respect the American people and if, I don’t know, I think that we have to be very open and very honest and I’m not sure that we did something bad.”
“I think maybe sometimes, somethings we have to discuss out of media, with all respect to democracy and to free media,” added Zelensky.

Here’s what The Hill reported:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wouldn’t apologize for the meeting with President Trump, which erupted into a remarkable and tense spat, arguing that the situation was bad for both countries.
Fox News’s Bret Baier asked the Ukrainian president Friday evening if he would apologize for the meeting, which was expected to result in signing a minerals deal but instead went off the rails, and he denied any wrongdoing.“No, I respect the president and I respect the American people and if, I don’t know, I think that we have to be very open and very honest and I’m not sure that we did something bad,” Zelensky said. “I think maybe sometimes, somethings we have to discuss out of media, with all respect to democracy and to free media.”
The exchange occurred with reporters and cameras in the Oval Office, making the argument public. Trump remarked when reporters were asked the leave the room that it made for good television.
“This is not good for both sides, anyway, and I was very open, but I can’t change our Ukrainian attitude toward Russia,” Zelensky said, when asked if the public spat served Ukrainians well. “This is very clear that Americans are the best of our friends, Europeans are the best of our friends and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, with Russia, we are enemies.”
Baier asked if the dynamic should have taken place behind closed doors, questioning if Zelensky regretted how it occurred. Zelensky looked out to an aide for what appeared to be an ask for a translation for “regret” before responding, “Yes, I think it was not good.”

Per USA Today:
Hours after his heated exchange with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office which scuttled a planned economic partnership, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declined in a Fox News interview to apologize to Trump.
The testy exchange began with Vice President JD Vance praising Trump for negotiating directly with Russia over ending the war that began with Russia’s 2022 invasion and occupation of Ukraine. Zelenskyy argued that Russia’s prior actions have shown it to be an untrustworthy diplomatic partner, to which Vance responded that the Ukrainian president was being “disrespectful” to Trump.
In an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Zelenskyy at first sidestepped the question of whether he owed Trump an apology.
