Zelenskyy made headlines when he told Baier he didn't apologize to Trump following their diplomatic clash, saying he was "not sure that we did something bad."

"What set you off?" Baier asked. "What made you mad?"

"It's not about mad, Bret," Zelenskyy responded. "When , for example, say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that Ukraine lost million of civilians, its president is  dictator, you know, what is reaction? It’s not about me. The reaction is that where is our friendship, Ukraine and United States?"

Zelenskyy went on to acknowledge the dust-up was "not good" for both the U.S. and Ukraine.
