Is the U.S. pressuring Ukraine? "The 'sit and listen' rhetoric doesn't work"
Zelensky emphasised Ukraine's sovereignty when asked whether the U.S. might pressure Ukraine into joining negotiations with Russia. He stated that Ukraine is an independent nation and has demonstrated throughout the war that it will not simply adhere to passive listening or external demands.
The President of Ukraine highlighted the importance of achieving a fair peace for the nation, emphasizing that it should not come at the cost of losing its finest individuals to injustice. He acknowledged that while the war will eventually conclude, the exact timing remains uncertain.
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.
