Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday evening repeatedly refused in a Fox News interview to apologize for his stunning Oval Office clash with President Donald Trump hours earlier.

But Zelenskyy said, “This kind of spat is not good for both sides.”

The Ukrainian leader told Fox News’ Brett Baier that “it will be difficult for us” to defend his country from Russian military forces if Trump discontinues aid to Ukraine.

“That’s why we’re here,” Zelenskyy said. “It will be difficult without your support.”

“Your people help to save our people,” he later said.

He said he regretted his loud argument with Trump and Vice President JD Vance was televised, and in front of reporters.

“We are thankful and sorry for this. I mean this, we wanted very much to have strong relations,” Zelenskyy said.

Pressed by Baier if he should apologize to Trump, Zelenskyy said, “I think that we have to be very open and very honest.”

“And I’m not sure that we did something bad,” Zelenskyy said.

Asked if he believed that his relationship with Trump could be salvaged, the Ukrainian leader said, “Yes, of course.”

 Shortly before the interview, Trump said Zelenskyy had “overplayed his hand.”

“He’s looking for something that I’m not looking for,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.

“He’s looking to go on and fight, fight, fight. We’re looking to end the death.”
