President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has commented on the rise in his approval rating following his confrontation with Donald Trump at the White House.
Source Zelenskyy in an interview with Time, as reported by European Pravda Details In early March, shortly after the dispute in the Oval Office on 28 February, Zelenskyys approval rating surged, reaching nearly 70 according to some polls.
Commenting on this, the president remarked that Ukrainians tend to unite when it comes to a sense of dignity.
Why did the Ukrainians defend themselves at the start of this war It was because of dignity, the Ukrainian president said.
He noted that Ukraine does not see itself as a superpower, but Ukrainians are very emotional, and when it comes to our sense of dignity, freedom, democracy, our people rise up and unite.
He added that during the events in the Oval Office, Ukrainians were hoping to see that the United States remained their ally.
But in that moment there was the sense of not being allies, or not taking the position of an ally.
In that conversation, I was defending the dignity of Ukraine, the president said.
Background In the interview, Zelenskyy also admitted that he does not know what happened to Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyks championship belt, which he brought to the White House intending to present to Donald Trump.
Additionally, Zelenskyy confirmed that he had extended an invitation to US Vice President JD Vance to visit Ukraine.
