Zelenskyy Says Ukraine 'Will Not Prevail’ if U.S. Takes Russia's Side: Full Interview

Oct 18, 2026 | In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shares why he believes it would be a “historic mistake” if the U.S. government decided to support Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I have the greatest respect for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He's a courageous man. A hero. Trump, by contrast, is a treasonours clown. I have absolutely no respect for the man. Americans, if they are good and sensible people, will ditch Trump at the very earliest convenience. — © Mark Alexander
