Part 3/8:
Zelenskyy acknowledged his respect for Trump, but stressed that Ukraine is in a desperate fight for freedom, and he desires a partnership where both sides work together to end the war with Russia. He highlighted America's crucial role in providing support and security guarantees, which are pivotal to Ukraine's hopes for a lasting peace. Reflecting on the achievements of past U.S. Presidents, he invoked Reagan's notion that "peace is not just an absence of war" while emphasizing that Ukraine seeks substantive solutions, not merely ceasefires that have historically been broken by Russia.
