In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, President Zelensky addressed the growing influence of Russian narratives in U.S. discourse, particularly in response to comments made by former President Trump. He rejected Trump's claims that Ukraine initiated the war, reiterating that Russia is the true aggressor. Zelensky described a prior meeting with Trump and Vice President Vance as a concerning shift in perception regarding the war. He extended an invitation for Trump to visit Ukraine to witness the realities of the conflict firsthand, emphasizing the need for understanding and clarity about the situation.
Zelensky emphasized, "I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S... How is it possible to witness our losses and still believe they are not the aggressors?"
Reflecting on a U.S. meeting, Zelensky stated, "It's a shift in tone, a shift in reality... I don't want to engage in the altered reality being presented to me."
On the nature of the conflict, Zelensky asserted, "There is an aggressor and there is a victim. The Russians are the aggressor, and we are the victim."
When asked if he would invite Trump to Ukraine, Zelensky replied, "With pleasure... Please, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals."
