President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes that US President Donald Trump will realize that Russian President Vladimir Putin is weaker than he seems, and that Russia's victory in the war would be a disaster not only for Ukraine, but also for the entire West, including the United States.
He said this in an interview with Time magazine, writes UNN.

Zelenskyy noted that Trump insists on ending the war, but his rhetoric allegedly implies concessions to Russia, while Ukraine is facing increased pressure.
The President of Ukraine suggested that Trump has the opportunity to squeeze concessions from the Kremlin, because Putin, according to him, "fears" the US President. He recalled that in periods when Washington threatened tougher sanctions for Russian strikes on Ukraine, "the Russians were really scared."
In addition, Zelenskyy hopes that Trump will understand that Putin is weaker than he seems and that he cannot be trusted, and that Russia's victory in this war will be a disaster not only for Ukraine. According to him, it will be a loss for the entire West, and especially for the United States and its current leaders. And Trump and his team will not accept such a loss.
They have their own ambitions. They see their role in history not only as powerful leaders, but also as those who can achieve a dignified end to the war. That's why I don't believe in these apocalyptic scenarios. Honestly, I don't believe it
