"Slava Ukraini" is a battle cry for the Ukrainian armed forces, meaning "Glory to Ukraine."

While the vice president didn’t specify what he talked to the protesters about, the Trump administration has cut off funding in the last week for Ukraine and stopped  with the country after a tense Oval Office exchange between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump and Vance.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the vice president’s office for comment.
