With all respect to democracy and free media, but there are things where we have to understand the position of Ukraine.

Because we had a lot of different dialogues.
I am always open to media but there are very sensitive things.
I just want to be honest and I just want our partners to understand the situation correctly.
He also added that he was very grateful to all Americans and Trump for all their aid and support but he still thought that Ukraine and the US had to be on the same side.
When asked whether Trump was too close to Putin, as some Democrats claim, Zelenskyy said they had talked about this. Zelenskyy stressed that even though Trump said he wanted to be in the middle, Zelenskyy would like to get him to be more on Ukraines side.
The journalist also asked Zelenskyy whether he thought that the dispute was planned, and the president replied that it was, indeed, a very complicated situation and he would not want to lose the support of US partners.

Italy will propose to partners an immediate summit with the United States, European countries and other allies to discuss challenges, starting with Ukraine, which we have defended together in recent years.
Speaking to journalists outside the White House, Trump said that Zelenskyy must say that he wants peace in order to resume negotiations.
