Zelensky on the Trump-Putin call:
Ukraine supports peace, but if Russia talks and then bombs Slovyansk, we will respond.
Russia’s goal is the same - no mobilization, no aid to Ukraine, so they can attack later.
The prisoner exchange? Pre-planned, nothing new.

Zelensky: I knew about the prisoner exchange. I got that information in advance from the SBU and GUR. This was a planned exchange on our part. 5/
Zelensky: I want President Trump to see what Putin is really after - a new offensive in Zaporizhzhia, the east, Kharkiv, and Sumy.

Zelensky: There’s no major weapons shortage in Ukraine right now. Yes, there are issues with FPVs. But when it comes to artillery, certain mines, and systems, we’re covering those needs for now.

Zelensky: Putin keeps bringing up mobilization, and weapons [in his demands].
What’s behind that? An attempt to weaken Ukraine’s army.
