Zelensky: Ukraine Seeks Strong Ties With U.S. And Partners, Free Of Misunderstandings

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The head of state made these remarks during a speech at the Hudson Institute, according to Ukrinform.

“I very much want our relations-between Ukraine and America, as well as with all our other partners-to be strong, truly friendly, and free of misunderstandings. Without a strong America that cares about what is happening in the world, the world would undoubtedly be a worse place,” Zelensky emphasized.

According to him, Ukraine's openness in communicating with the international community stems from a desire to convey the truth about events to as many people as possible.

“When people understand what is really happening, political leaders can choose a stronger path-one that can truly bring peace closer. And peace is what we want more than anything,” the President noted.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the first step toward genuine diplomacy in relations with Russia should be a ceasefir, after which it will be possible to work substantively on a peace plan.
