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 statements piled up on social media, offering words of encouragement to the Ukrainian leader and his people.
