Key messages from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with American media personality Lоra Loomer:
▫️The US President has realised that it is russia that has no interest in ending the war.
▫️Ukraine has always wanted Americans to come here and see for themselves what russia is doing.
▫️russia does not understand that Ukrainians are defending their homes. putin wants to restore the USSR within its former borders.
▫️Ukraine was completely occupied — both during the soviet era and during the Second World War. Eight million Ukrainians were killed. And during the Holodomor, russia killed over six million Ukrainians.
▫️russia is not a defender of Christianity. For centuries, it has invaded foreign territories, destroying local churches, traditions and languages.
▫️Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Ukraine has been purchasing weapons from the US, notably through the PURL programme. This is a mutually beneficial partnership.
▫️Thanks to its support for Ukraine, the US has gained exclusive military experience without losing any of its own soldiers. The US has saved 20 years of development work.
▫️Ukraine is seeking to conclude a major drone deal with the United States. Ukraine has provided its maritime and long-range drones to the US for testing.
▫️Ukrainian drone technologies continue to evolve. The dynamics of combat operations are changing approaches to drone deployment every 3–6 months.
▫️The US must have a voice in peace negotiations with russia.
