Zelenskyy: Russia will never again have the status it once had. The perception of Russia has changed. It is fear, not respect.

Russia will never again have a good relationship with Europe, at least not in the coming years. 1/

Zelenskyy: Ukrainians want the war to end as soon as possible, without ifs and buts. This winter was emotionally exhausting.

But claiming that Ukrainians are ready to give up everything just so Putin stops launching rockets and drones would be wrong. 2/

Zelenskyy: At the beginning Trump and I did not have enough trust in one another and people saw it publicly.

Later our teams found each other better and now there is a better atmosphere. But Trump is not yet ready to exert pressure on Russia. 3/

Zelenskyy: Presidents come and go. Both I and Trump and with God’s help also Putin will one day go.

But the security guarantees for Ukraine must be institutionalized. They must be coordinated and legally binding, confirmed both by the president and by the Congress. 4/

Zelenskyy: Ukrainians do not trust Putin and do not trust Russia.

Even if Russia chooses a different path tomorrow and a liberal future comes, Ukrainians from a country that has been hit so hard still feel no trust. It will be a long road. 5X
