Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN that Ukraine is not willing to give up territory in the eastern part of the country to end the war with Russia.
Zelensky said in an exclusive interview Friday with CNN's Jake Tapper from the office of the president in Kyiv that his country has no guarantee that Russia wouldn't try again to seize Kyiv if it is able to capture Donbas."This is why it is very important for us to not allow them, to stand our ground, because this battle ... it can influence the course of the whole war," Zelensky said.
'Most horrifying thing I've seen in my life': Zelensky responds to video 03:17US President Joe Biden said last week that the civilian killings being committed by Russian forces appeared to be genocide."I have the same opinion as President Biden," Zelensky said."Look what happened in Bucha. It's clear that is not even a war, it's a genocide. They just killed people. Not soldiers, people. They just shot people in the streets.
Zelensky speaks about his children 02:08"I think he will," Zelensky said of Biden when asked if there were any plans for the US President to visit."I mean, his decision, of course. And as well, the safety situation depends -- I mean that -- but I think he's the leader of the United States, and that's why he should come here to see.
Zelensky weighs in on whether Putin could use nuclear weapons 01:46Zelensky said that he's prepared to engage with Russia diplomatically to try to end the war but that Russia's attacks on Ukrainians make it harder to do. "As I said before, what's the price of all this? It's people. The many people who have been killed. And who ends up paying for all of this? It's Ukraine. Just us," Zelensky said."So for us, this is a really great cost.
