Volodymyr Zelensky

There is no any leader in the world who can really make a deal with Putin without us, about us. And at the table, it's very important to hear America, Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. I not only count on it. I'm sure that we have to be there. Otherwise, it's not acceptable.

Since we are talking about 4%, we have seen this disinformation. We understand that it is coming from Russia. We understand and we have evidence that these numbers are being discussed between America and Russia. It is unfortunate that President Trump, and with great respect for him as the leader of the American people who constantly support us, unfortunately lives in this disinformation space.

The plan to strengthen Ukraine is a plan of victory.

NATO can't flinch every time Putin flexes. He's an autocrat. Autocrats respect strength. NATO needs to demonstrate strength. We have to demonstrate in Ukraine, on the front lines of the free world, that the United States and NATO are going to stand with freedom and democracy wherever they're under attack.

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone, and we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet and not only in this cabinet.

I'm not signing something that will have to be repaid by generations and generations of the Ukrainians.

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have? I have been to... Come once.

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. Sure. First of all, during the war, Everybody has problems even you but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future God bless. You don't know that God bless you. God bless.

We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it. You're not in a good position.

I'm not playing cards.

Yeah, yeah, problems.

I don't have such. I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Yes, maybe. Maybe something like yours, yes? Maybe something better, I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper. Thank you.

I would like to see more truth from the Trump team, because this affects Ukraine and not in a positive way.

He broke the ceasefire. He killed our people, and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about? What do you mean?

Since we are talking about 4%, we have seen this disinformation. We understand that it is coming from Russia. It is unfortunate that President Trump, and with great respect for him as the leader of the American people who constantly support us, unfortunately lives in this disinformation space.

We are seeing a lot of disinformation and it's coming from Russia.

Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect, für ihn als den Leiter einer Nation, die wir sehr respektieren, die amerikanische Bevölkerung, in diesem Desinformation-Bereich lebt.

I'm grateful to the President for his sincere interest in our shared potential and how we can work together to achieve real peace. It was a lengthy discussion covering many diplomatic, military and economic nuances. President Trump also informed me of what Putin told him.

We trust that America's strength, together with our efforts and those of all our partners, will be enough to pressure Russia and Putin into peace.

Putin will try to get the US president standing on Red Square on May 9th this year, not as a respected leader, but as a probe in his own performance. We don't need that. We need real success. We need real peace.

I really believe that time has come. The armed forces of Europe must be created. And now, as we fight this war and lay the groundwork for peace and security, we must build the armed forces of Europe so that Europe's future depends only on Europeans.

I saw a lot of people, and I want to thank you, people of the United Kingdom, such big support from the very beginning of this war. Thank you, your team. And I'm very happy that His Majesty the King accepted my meeting tomorrow, and I'm thankful that you organized such a summit for tomorrow. And we are very happy in Ukraine that we have such strategic partners.

I'm here for Mr. Zakharov.

I hope and we count that really President Trump will help us. And I really count on him. He is the president, and the United States is the biggest denator during the war. I mean, comparable with other countries. As I said, Europe also, but it's Europe, totally continent. Yes, United States gave a lot. That's why I count on him.

People voted, and we really think, I see, yes, that he is a strong man. And if he will choose our side, And if he will not be in the middle, I think he will pressure and he will push Putin to stop the war. He can't do it.

In three days. I heard it from Putin. In three days. This is something you... Maybe less. In two weeks. Of course, yes. You don't have the cards. I'm thankful.

You're running low on soldiers.

If you will speak very loudly about the war, you can... He's not speaking loudly. We are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet. You haven't been alone.

We need funds for artillery shells and would really appreciate Europe's support with at least 5 billion euros as soon as possible. Investments in weapons production are needed both in Ukraine and in your countries. Everything necessary to defend the continent should be produced here in Europe. We must work toward this together.

NATO, you are cleared for takeoff.

Now, what we've all heard from Russia is Putin's very predictable, very manipulative words in response to the idea of a ceasefire. In practice, he is preparing a rejection. Putin, of course, is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war, that he wants to kill Ukrainians.

Of course it will be very strange if the policy of the United States will shift to Russia. But I think this is a very important moment for the new team. It's their decision, of course, but I think that the United States can stop any evil. And in this case they have to be on the side of us because they attacked us and occupied us. No compromises in this.

We have no doubt that we can push Russia toward peace. But for that, we must continue to pressure Moscow with all available tools and step by step make its aggression meaningless.

Speaking to Ukrainian and international media, Zelensky said NATO membership remains the strongest and cheapest way to guarantee Ukraine's security against more Russian attacks. He says he would leave office in exchange for Ukraine's quick entry into the security alliance. If there is peace for Ukraine, I'm ready to leave my position, he says.

I focus on Ukraine's security right now, not in 20 years. Both Russia and the Trump administration oppose NATO membership for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Zelensky also said his team is still working with the U.S. on a deal to exchange hundreds of billions of dollars in critical raw materials for security guarantees. Zelensky says the deal must be fair to Ukrainians.

We accept the American proposal for a full... an unconditional ceasefire. In fact, we ourselves are proposing it. Russia, as of now, is rejecting even that, even a ceasefire. And if they refuse something as basic as that, it means they don't want to end

We should take under NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control. That's what we need to do fast. And then Ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically.

Using this intelligence, using satellites, we are able to foresee Russian actions. to understand what kind of supplies they provide to the frontline. By cutting that, we become almost blind. We still have our own surveillance, but it's mainly short, mid-range. You cannot destroy the enemy if you don't understand its actions.

We want peace. That's why I'm in the United States. That's why I visited President Trump.

Yeah. When I hear, and I heard earlier, and today we hear from the United States of America, that America gave Ukraine hundreds of billions, 177, to be more precise. That was the exact number that was supported, or the Congress voted, etc., various organizations. Look, I, as the President of a warring country, am telling you, we have received More than 75.

That is, 100 billion of these 177, or 200, some people say, we have never received. And this is important. Because we are talking about specific things. Because we received it not with money, but with weapons. We received weapons for 70 billion.

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, Everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless.

Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this.

We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it. You're not in a good position.

Right now, you're playing cards. You're playing cards.

Right now, you're playing cards.

Please, you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can- He's not speaking loudly.

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone, and we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet. You haven't been alone. We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion.

In three days. I heard it from Putin. In three days. This is something new. Maybe less. In two weeks. Of course, yes.

You're running low on soldiers.

Of course we want to stop the war. But you're saying you don't want a ceasefire. But I said to you. I want a ceasefire. With guarantees. Because you'll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement. Ask our people about ceasefire, what they think. That wasn't with me. It doesn't matter for you what this means.

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. Sure. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless.

Look, when I hear, and I used to hear, and today we hear from the United States that America gave Ukraine hundreds of billions, 177, to be more precise. This was the exact number that was supported or voted by the Congress and various organizations. Look, I, as the President of a warring country, tell you that we have received more than 75.

That is, we have never received 100 billion out of these 177 or 200, even some people say. And this is important. All right, we can stop it there.

President Trump said that they made less support. But they are our friends, and they are our very supportive partners. They really gave a lot, Mr. President. They really did.

Yeah, I have problems.

I don't have such... I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Yes, maybe...

He broken the ceasefire. He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about? What do you mean?

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems. Even you. But you have a nice ocean. And don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless. You will not have a war.

Because you're in no position to dictate that. That's exactly what you're doing.

I'm telling you, you will feel influenced. From the very beginning of the war. From the very beginning of the war, Mr. Brown, I was arrested.

Right now, you're playing cards.

President Trump said that they made less support. But they are our friends, and they are our very supportive partners. They really gave a lot, Mr. President.

They really did.

Maybe some something better. I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper than. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

He broke in this ceasefire. He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about?

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems. Even you. But you have a nice ocean. And don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future.

You're not in a good position.

Mr. President, people in India would be welcoming your decision to extradite Rahab Rana. I can't understand a word he's saying.

From the very beginning of the war.

We are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone.

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet and not only in this cabinet.

Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this.

We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it. You're not in a good position.

Right now, you're playing cards. You're playing cards.

Of course we want to stop the war. But I said to you, with guarantees.

Ask our people about ceasefire, what they think. That wasn't with me. That wasn't with me.

That was with Obama.

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have? I have been to – Come once.

Of course we want to stop the war. But I said to you, with guarantees.

Ask our people about ceasefire, what they think. That wasn't with me. That wasn't with me.

A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, Everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless.

That was with Obama. Excuse me.

Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this.

You're not in a good position.

Right now, you're playing cards.

A lot of times. Even today.

We'll be right back.

I wanted to share with you some images. Can I know? Yeah, please.

I mean, it's looking... Tragic.

Before my presidency, from 2014, Putin broken 25 times. 25 times he broken. His own signature, 25 times he broke a ceasefire.

No, no, you were the president. He never broke to me. In 2016, you've been the president, Mr. President.

That's why we will never... accept just ceasefire. It will not work without security guarantees.

During 2014 till 2022, the situation was the same. People have been dying on the contact line. Nobody stopped him.

But after that, he broke this ceasefire. He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it.

What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about?

Even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.

Here's how bad it is. President Volodymyr Zelensky has offered to send 150 Ukrainian first responders to help battle the massive wildfires.

The way we answer to the Russian aggression today, it will define our common future, the future of entire democratic world and the future of the UN.

I think that the United States, on our side, from the very beginning of occupation, and I think that President Trump on our side, and of course, I'm sure that United States president will not stop support. This is crucial for us.

I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better. I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper. Thank you. Thank you, President Trump.

I think he's dressed beautifully. So I have more serious things than answer on such questions. I will answer on more serious questions if I can.

About Justice Fire, we can't just speak about Justice Fire and speak and speak. It will not work. Justice Fire will never work because I'm like a president. I have this experience and not only me. Ukraine, before my presidency from 2014, Putin broken 25 times. 25 times he broken. his own signature, 25 times he broke his fire. But he never broke to me. No, no, you were the president.

He never broke to me. In 2016, you've been the president, Mr. President. You've been the president, but he had, of course, not with you, but he had, during those periods, he had conversations with our side, and we had Normandy format, you know, the France, Germany, Ukraine, and Russia, and he broken 25 times. That's why we will never accept just ceasefire.

It will not work without security guarantees.

I really count on your strong position to stop Putin. And you said that enough with the war. I think that is very important, Bin, to say these words to Putin at the very beginning. At the very beginning of war, because he is a killer and terrorist. But I hope that together we can stop him. But for us, it's very important to, you know, to save our country, our values.

sure yeah yeah okay so he occupied it uh our parts big parts of ukraine part of east and crimea so he occupied it on 2014. in 2019 i signed with him the deal I signed with him, Macron and Merkel, we signed ceasefire. Ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go. We signed him with gas contract. Gas contract. Yes, but after that, he broken the ceasefire.

He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about?

During the war, everybody has problems. Even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.

We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You're not in a good position.

Of course we want to stop the war. But you're saying you don't want a ceasefire.

There are a lot of different voices around new American administration and I'm not sure that all these voices are on our side. Now we can't rule out the possibility that America might say no to Europe on issues that threaten it. It's up to them, but they can discuss everything they want, but not about Ukraine without us.

I started to film when we started to end the year 2019.

Europe really helped. President Trump said that they made less support. But they are our friends, and they are our very supportive partners. They really gave a lot, Mr. President. They really did. They gave a lot, but they gave much less. No. Much less. No. No. Okay. Okay.

25 times he'd broken ceasefire. But he never broke to me. He never broke to me. No, no, you were the president. He never broke to me. In 2016, you've been the president, Mr. President.

You've been the president, but he had, of course, not with you, but he had during those periods, he had conversations with our side, and we had Normandy format, you know, the France, Germany, Ukraine, and Russia, and he'd broken 25 times. That's why we will never... accept just ceasefire. It will not work without security guarantees.

Security guarantees, maybe president is right about this document and other, but this document is not enough.

You have to come and to look. No, no, no. We have very good cities. Yes, a lot of things have been destroyed, but mostly cities alive. Ukraine is fighting and Ukraine lives. This is very important. And maybe it's Putin sharing this information that he destroyed us.

What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about?

Everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless.

We're going to feel very good and very strong.

We are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet and not only in this cabinet.

If you didn't have our military equipment.

I heard it from Putin. In three days. This is something new. Maybe less. In two weeks. Of course, yes.

Can President Trump, I hope yes, with some other allies to stop Putin withdraw these enemies, our enemy, withdraw these troops from our land? We will never accept just ceasefire. It will not work without security guarantees. Security guarantees, maybe the president is right about this document and other, but this document is not enough.

What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about?

And just on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Zelensky suggested in his most forceful statements about Trump so far that... President Trump, who we have great respect for as the leader of the American people, whom we respect very much, who supports us constantly, unfortunately lives in this disinformation space.

The American side understands our arguments.

Now, the executive branch can argue that they are partially implementing the law, and they would probably argue that there is no longer a need for the personnel to fulfill these functions.

The agreement could restore constructive relations between two countries by defining the format of further U.S. military and financial support to Ukraine.

And this is a part of the video of the screaming.

And this is burning. So, like, if you can show it in your country and to tell what is happening, just see. Just see what is going on. Just see how we live in this reality.

We also need more pressure on Russia.

We must build the armed forces of Europe so that Europe's future depends only on Europeans and decisions about Europe are made in Europe.

Yes, of course, because it's relations more than two presidents. It's the historical relations, strong relations between our people. And that's why I always began with to thank your people from our people. And this is the most important. And of course, thankful to president and of course to Congress. But first of all, to your people. Your people help to save our people. People, the first.

Human rights, the first. This is very, very important. And we are thankful. And sorry for this. I mean, we wanted very much to have all these strong relations. And we're very calm that we will have it.

No, I respect the president and I respect American people. And if I don't know if I think that we have to be very open and very honest. And I'm not sure that we did something bad. I think maybe sometimes some some some things we have to discuss out of context.

out of media with all respect to democracy and to a free media but there are things that where we have to understand the position of ukraine and ukrainians

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet and not only in this cabinet.

Take a look. A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning. Sure. First of all, during the war... Everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.

You don't know that. God bless.

We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it. You're not in a good position.

I will be in Turkey this Thursday, May 15th, and I expect Putin to come to Turkey as well, personally. And I hope that this time Putin won't be looking for excuses as to why he can't make it. We are ready to talk to end this war Thursday. Turkey, President Trump has expressed support. All the leaders support this.

In three days. I heard it from Putin. In three days. This is something new. Maybe less. In two weeks. Of course, yes.

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone, and we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet. You haven't been alone. We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion. You voted for your president.
