President Trump's explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shocked hawkish Republican lawmakers and led one prominent GOP backer of Ukraine to suggest that Zelensky should resign.

Axar.az reports that via Axios, the meeting angered Democrats, who were horrified by Trump and Vice President Vance's conduct. It offended some Republicans, with most of them reserving their ire for Zelensky.

"He needs to either resign or change," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters. Zelesnky "has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he's a good investment."

Other Republicans shared their concern about the long-term fallout of the short-tempered meeting.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) Friday was "a bad day for America's foreign policy." "Ukraine wants independence, free markets and rule of law. It wants to be part of the West. Russia hates us and our Western values. We should be clear that we stand for freedom," he said.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), in a post on X, called the meeting "a disaster — especially for Ukraine," adding, "Sadly, the only winner of today is Vladimir Putin.

The most heated GOP criticism targeted Zelensky, while some argued the meeting was a loss for both countries. While Democrats were nearly unanimous in their condemnation of Trump's and Vance's behavior.

The press conference with Trump, Zelensky, Vance, and other leaders began with statements and questions from reporters but soon devolved into a shouting match, as Vance accused Zelensky of being disrespectful and ungrateful for U.S. support.

Later Trump released a statement afterward, saying that he had determined Zelensky is "not ready for Peace if America is involved."
