The photo and video recording the moment Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova bowed her head and covered her face with her hands in helplessness during the meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky at the White House on February 28 attracted the attention of netizens.

Just a few hours after appearing on social network X, the photo received more than 2 million views and thousands of comments.

The photo shows Ms. Markarova sitting in the front row watching the talks between the two US and Ukrainian leaders inside the Oval Office, surrounded by a large group of reporters.

For a moment, she bowed her head, covered her face with her hands, and closed her eyes, appearing helpless as the two leaders argued fiercely.

On the afternoon of February 28, President Zelensky went to the White House in hopes of signing a mineral agreement and discussing a solution to the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

In contrast to Mr. Trump's recent friendly meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the US-Ukraine talks broke down due to a heated exchange of words between Mr. Zelensky and US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The heated debate threatens to overshadow ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine brokered by President Trump.

After the meeting, Mr Trump declared that Mr Zelensky did not want peace and signaled that negotiations could only resume as long as the Ukrainian leader wanted to end the bloodshed.
