Having been through a few very tense mediations and negotations....for those saying how this is a bad look, imbecilic, immature, show...whatever you want to call it. This is how big things happen.
Good mediators make sure everyone leaves the room upset and uncomfortable - that is how you know the middle ground was located.
What Zelensky is attempting to do is prove the mediator wrong - that rarely happens and only serves to diminish his own position.

It is not the negotiation. They can fight all they want in a room. But once you agree, come out and share. Don't fight in front of the cams. That was the bad part.
