Nebraska Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon stepped onto a national stage to express concerns about President Donald Trump’s recent statements about Ukraine.

Nebraska’s federal delegation is weighing in after a heated exchange Friday between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an Oval Office meeting.

Nebraska's federal delegation reacted to a tense meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Mykhailo Smyshliaiev, a Lincoln man from Ukraine, said all of this fighting is taking away from what's really important.

When Trump was asked what he needs to see from Zelenskyy to restart negotiations, he said the Ukrainian president "should be more appreciative."

Following the tense feud between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy, reports have shown that Trump is not first President to lose his patience with Zelenskyy.

Bacon countered Trump's comments by noting that Ukraine has it written in its constitution to halt elections until the war is over. Bacon said he's been assured Ukraine will hold peace-time elections. "I know what side I'm on," Bacon said. "Our president better figure out what side he's on and it better be on the side of Ukraine. "

Congressman Don Bacon told CNN that President Trump was wrong when he referred to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections.”

"I was hoping for an interactive discussion today. Turned out it was more of a different event than what was conveyed. It wasn't really a town hall, unfortunately."
