Is the U.S. pressuring Ukraine? "'Sit and listen' rhetoric doesn't work"
Zelensky assured that Ukraine remains a sovereign nation when asked about potential U.S. pressure on Ukraine's involvement in negotiations with Russia. "We are an independent country. During this war, we have proven that the 'sit and listen' rhetoric doesn't work with us," he stressed.
The President of Ukraine highlighted that a just peace is crucial for his country, one that will not result in the loss of its best people due to injustice. "The war will end, but we don’t yet know the exact date," Zelensky declared.
Following Trump's victory, there were suggestions that the new U.S. administration may pressure Kyiv regarding territorial concessions to Moscow. However, Ukrainian authorities strongly oppose such solutions.
