The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, expects that the United States of America will never leave the NATO member states, otherwise, in his opinion, many countries will be lost to the world.
“I don’t know who will be the president of the United States. I hope the United States never leaves NATO because otherwise the world will lose a lot of countries. Many countries, because people like Putin… we will lose small states that count on America in NATO. We will lose the Baltic States, Poland and other countries that are very attentive to this topic. I hope that the United States will never seriously consider leaving NATO.” stated he during a conversation with the American journalist Bret Bayer at the Institute named after Reagan in Washington.
He also expressed hope that if Trump is elected president in November this year, his policy towards Ukraine will not change.
When asked if Zelensky believes that Trump can change his policy towards Ukraine in one day, he replied: “I don’t know him that well. I had meetings with him. We had good meetings when he was president. But we did not go through the war with him. And only during the war can you understand whether you can count on someone or not, because during the war the situation is different – it is a very difficult situation, with challenges.”
“So I can’t say what he will do if he becomes president of the United States. I do not know. I read his messages on twitter yesterday. They were, let’s say, with questions. So sometimes we need answers. It is very important for us that we do not lose the unity of people. That they have high morals. So that we do not lose unity between partners. That is why such messages sometimes hit us. And they divide us,” he stated.
