The United States is currently focused primarily on its own interests, though there are hopes that President Donald Trump still cares about the future of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with NBC News.
During the interview, Zelenskyy was asked whether he believes Trump cares about Ukraine's future. He paused briefly before responding:
"I hope so. You know the policy of the United States today. They care about the United States more. It's understandable, by the way. We understand it and I think that the American team is very open about it," Ukraine's leader said.
Zelenskyy–Trump relationship and more
Recently, the Ukrainian president said he has a working relationship with Donald Trump, as both seek to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
Speaking of Ukraine's future, the US State Department recently allocated $25 million for programs aimed at the return and rehabilitation of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
At the same time, disagreements exist over how to end the war. According to Zelenskyy, the United States has set a condition requiring Ukraine to withdraw its forces from Donbas in exchange for security guarantees.
However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied this, calling Zelenskyy's claim "a lie." He said the issue was that security guarantees would not take effect until the war ended.
Zelenskyy reiterated his stance again yesterday, adding that only a small part of the "iceberg" has been revealed.
