Zelenskyy says Ukraine 'will not prevail’ if U.S. takes Russia's side: Full interview

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses the critical implications of recent U.S. policy shifts on the ongoing war, specifically criticizing the waiving of sanctions against Russia and the restricted functionality of Starlink services. These developments directly undermine Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian drones and maintain essential logistics, effectively emboldening Vladimir Putin’s aggression. While expressing deep concern over a perceived betrayal by the current U.S. administration, Zelenskyy reaffirms his commitment to defending Ukrainian sovereignty and independence. He emphasizes that while the Ukrainian population is exhausted by relentless energy attacks, the country remains open to diplomatic efforts that prioritize a genuine ceasefire and long-term security. Ultimately, he maintains that Ukraine’s victory is essential to preserving its national identity and geopolitical choice, despite the significant challenges posed by shifting international support and the ongoing military conflict.
