What is the point of Trump and Vance humiliating Zelensky in front of live TV? Why could they not have done it in private as with most discussions?

I wasn’t fully convinced before that Putin has Trump in his pocket, but after that stunt, I am convinced that he is under Putin’s thumb. Trump and co. could have had marching orders from Putin to do exactly that. Also, this is something that Putin have done and would do, publicly humiliating someone on live TV.

Peace is the term they use meaning surrender to Russia to end the war.
