Zelensky reaches out to US conservatives in plea for unity
Volodymyr Zelensky participated in the American conservative talk show, The Ben Shapiro Show. During the programme, the President of Ukraine appealed to Americans, asking them to understand that Ukrainians are fighting a common enemy.
The President of Ukraine is trying to persuade Donald Trump to continue supporting the Ukrainian army. Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly expressed scepticism about the American president's peace plans and emphasised his mistrust of Vladimir Putin's intentions.
Zelensky is trying to reach Trump not only through direct talks but also through American public opinion and the voters of the current President of the United States.
In the past, he has given interviews to the conservative station Fox News. Now he has participated in The Ben Shapiro Show, a programme hosted by right-wing journalist Ben Shapiro.
During the recording, Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to Americans. The Ukrainian president emphasised that American citizens should understand the situation regarding the war and the fact that it also concerns them. He also pointed out that Ukraine and the USA have a common enemy.
"We are fighting for your rights and values, just as for our own. We are fighting Russians - your enemy, not your friends. We want to have this understanding in the US: we are partners," said Zelensky, when asked about the issue of the war with Russia and expectations towards the USA.
