Zelenskyy's Insights on Russia-Ukraine War, US Politics, and Forgiveness for Collaborators

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in an interview with ABC News that he would never agree to cede any territory to Russian invaders, including Crimea, but acknowledged that reaching the administrative border of Crimea could force Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiations. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for continued US support despite concerns about reducing aid. He also discussed the ongoing counteroffensive, the Wagner mercenary mutiny, and the need for security guarantees to ensure Ukraine's territorial integrity. Zelenskyy dismissed claims by former President Donald Trump that he could end the war within 24 hours and expressed optimism about Ukraine's future.
