Unfortunately, President Trump, whom I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us, unfortunately lives in this disinformation space.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
It’s all-important that security guarantees remain on the table—and that they work for Ukraine, for real and lasting peace.
Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect… is living in this disinformation space.
Today, Europe, NATO countries and the United States could give Ukraine hope, strong security guarantees, hope that Ukraine will become a NATO member.
I didn't let the ministers sign a relevant agreement because in my view it is not ready to protect us, our interest.
Ukraine regards any negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine as having no results.
It is critical that any negotiations to end the war are not happening behind the backs of the key parties affected by the Russian aggression.
we can't rule out that America might say 'no' to Europe on issues that might threaten it.
we don’t want anyone making decisions behind our backs and I think this is fair.
Ukraine and Europe—meaning the European Union, Turkey, and Britain—must be included in the talks and the development of necessary security guarantees that affect the fate of our part of the world, together with America.
Any country has bilateral relations with other countries; please, discuss whatever you want, but you cannot make decisions without Ukraine on how to end the war in Ukraine, the terms, or other conditions.
I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.
Ukraine will not take part in the talks in Saudi Arabia. Ukraine did not know anything about them.
Ukraine regards any talks about Ukraine without Ukraine as such that have no result, and we cannot recognise... agreements about us without us.
I would never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.
I didn’t let the ministers sign a relevant agreement because in my view it is not ready to protect us, our interest.
Ukraine would have a low chance to survive without support of the United States.
If the U.S. left NATO, the risk that Russia will occupy Europe, is 100 percent.
But I think he’s really a little bit scared about President Trump, and I think the president has this chance and he’s strong, and I think that really he can push Putin to peace negotiations.
I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.
As an independent country we simply cannot accept any agreements without us. And I articulate this very clearly to our partners. We will not accept any bilateral negotiations on Ukraine without us.
