Zelensky warns of global risks if US policy shifts under Trump
While visiting Reykjavik, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed a question regarding Donald Trump's chances in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. He noted that while the election outcome remains uncertain, they are fully aware of the associated risks.
At a press conference with the prime ministers of the Nordic countries, Zelensky emphasised that the biggest danger would be a change in US policy. He also noted that power in the United States is not limited to the president but involves Congress.
The Ukrainian president stressed that the lack of further support for Ukraine would mean a great victory for Putin and serious losses for the West and democratic values. He also added that Ukraine has its own plan for victory, although it is difficult to implement, and expressed gratitude for European support.
