President Zelenskyy: It's Time To Tell You The Truth About This War! I Found 500 Bodies!
In this intense interview, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks openly about the human and political dimensions of the war in Ukraine – from the first hours of the invasion to today's challenges. He shares personal memories, emotional moments, and his perspective on negotiations, the United States, and the future of his country.
The Beginning of the War and the 2022 Invasion- Zelenskyy describes February 24, 2022 as a shock: missile strikes, a 64 km long Russian convoy heading for Kyiv, and approximately 200,000 attacking soldiers.
- He stayed in Kyiv and rejected US President Biden's evacuation offer: “I need ammunition, not a ride.”
- The Ukrainian army grew through volunteer mobilization from 200,000 to 800,000 soldiers.
- Kyiv was defended because Russian forces lacked enough troops to hold the occupied territory.
- Zelenskyy calls the liberation of Bucha his hardest day: hundreds of tortured and murdered civilians, including children, were found in mass graves.
- He says: “I had never wanted to kill a human being – but after Bucha I wanted revenge.”
- He emphasizes that a ceasefire is already a huge compromise, but justice and punishment of the guilty are essential.
- Zelenskyy explains that Putin wants to restore the Soviet empire; Ukraine is the central target.
- He rejects Putin's version of history: Ukraine is the heir to Kyivan Rus, not an invention of the Bolsheviks.
- The war actually began in 2014 with the occupation of Crimea – a mistake that should not be repeated.
- Zelenskyy hardly sleeps, talks to air defense operators at night, and lives in a state of constant tension.
- His children and his wife Olena give him strength; he wants to be a role model for them.
- His mother calls him every single day – her first question is whether he picks up the phone.
- According to Zelenskyy, about 18–19% of Ukrainian territory is occupied – Crimea, parts of Donbas, and other areas.
- He contradicts Trump's statement that Ukraine should not strike Russian refineries: Russia's diesel exports have no impact on US prices; Ukraine only responds to attacks on its energy infrastructure.
- He calls on Trump to treat Putin with the same firmness and to supply air defense systems.
- Zelenskyy believes in a just peace, but not in forgiveness without accountability.
- He hopes America remains strong and peaceful, and thanks the US for its support.
- His personal wish: end the war, spend time with family, and live in peace.
