Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country has little chance of surviving the conflict with Russia without continued American backing.
Zelensky made the remarks in an interview on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, after a phone call this week with US President Donald Trump, who also spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Probably it will be very, very, very difficult. And of course, in all the difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have low chance - low chance to survive without support of the United States,” he said.
Zelensky claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not seeking peace but rather aimed to lift Western sanctions and rebuild Russia’s military strength.
Trump, who earlier this week spoke separately with both Putin and Zelensky, appears to be positioning himself as a mediator—albeit with Washington’s interests at the forefront.
He dismissed the idea of Ukraine joining NATO as impractical, suggesting that Kiev is unlikely to regain all the territory it claims. He also hinted at a potential summit with Putin in Saudi Arabia.
Trump had a call with the Russian head of state, which reportedly lasted over an hour, and described the discussion as a “good conversation.”
Desperate to secure a place at the negotiating table, Zelensky declared on Thursday that Ukraine would not accept any agreement on its future reached between Moscow and Washington without Kiev’s direct involvement.
