Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a recent interview with the Time opened up on his disastrous White House clash with President Donald Trump last month.
The Ukrainian leader said he thought Russia has managed to influence some people in the White House through misinformation.
“I believe Russia has managed to influence some people on the White House team through information. Their signal to the Americans was that the Ukrainians do not want to end the war, and something should be done to force them,” said Zelenskyy.
He further stated that Ukrainians don’t consider themselves as some superpower but still preferred dignity.
“We do not consider ourselves some kind of superpower,” Zelenskyy said. On the contrary, Ukrainians “are very emotional, and when it comes to our sense of dignity, freedom, democracy, our people rise up and unite.”
Reflecting on his clash with Trump, Zelenskyy insisted he was “defending the dignity of Ukraine.”
Following the explosive clash, Trump cut off American aid to Ukraine as well as the sharing of intelligence with Kyiv’s forces.
It continued until March 11 when Ukraine finally agreed to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire with Russia during talks in Saudi Arabia.
