We can now bring you more detail about the moments just after Zelensky and Trump's tense meeting in the Oval Office. The Ukrainian delegation left the Oval Office to a "separated room".
There, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio told them to leave the White House.
As we reported earlier, a scheduled press conference with Zelensky and Trump was cancelled shortly after the Oval Office meeting. We also watched live as the Ukrainian president exited the White House into a waiting vehicle. Trump and Vice-President JD Vance "will never allow the American people to be taken advantage of".
In a statement released shortly after their meeting with Zelensky, the White House says the pair "will always stand up for the interests of the American people and those who respect the United States’ position in the world".
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha says Volodymyr Zelensky "has the bravery and strength to stand up for what is right," in a post on X, following the president's early departure from the White House.
"He stands up for Ukraine and the goal of a just and lasting peace," Sybiha continues, adding that Ukraine has "always been and will continue to be grateful to America for its support".
We're now seeing photos of the podiums and tables that were set up for the anticipated news conference and deal-signing ceremony between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The event in the East Room of the White House was abruptly cancelled after the explosive exchange between the two leaders.
Though some Republican lawmakers have criticized Trump and Vance for their confrontation with Zelensky, other allies are rushing to their defense.
Representative Rick Scott of Florida writes on X: "Thank you President Trump for standing up for America".
Senate foreign relations member Mike Lee repeats Scott's remarks and also thanks the two for "putting America first".
Far-right representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene says: "Putting Zelensky in his place while he disrespects the U.S. in the Oval Office is exactly what American leadership should look like."
Just as the rest of us digest the astonishing exchanges in the White House, so do people in government.
Jaws are dropping there just as they are elsewhere.
