Published 2024-07-05
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy speaks to Bloomberg Television in Kyiv about Russian President Vladimir Putin's war with Ukraine, talks of a potential cease-fire, and the role of the US -- including that of presidential candidate Donald Trump -- in bringing about peace.

    So sad that at least half a million young Ukranians have died in this war. For what?
  • @Jurek56
    Putin wanted Ukraine to be independent but you prefer the war
  • @leonkk2712
    Zelensky last joke was when he said Russia is nothing without ucraine and Belarus 🤣🤣
  • @laurie9557
    The interviewer is annoying and not very knowledgeable.
  • @Hanal503
    Putin...we are waiting for you in Europe😂😂😂😂 just try...if you pretend that you are honest
  • @metodboba
    I wish this guy had some time to read the comments here
  • I don't know what he is talking about? He says we should be smart that our people don't be killed in the future if we make peace.
  • @vukoman12345
    Why she did not ask him does he still practice playing piano, telling jokes is easy to keep up with.
  • @tsv8664
    Great interview - both the interviewer and interviewee. I'm sure many Americans are wishing for leaders with such clarity and media with integrity.
  • @sxe1nuar
    Bloomberg reporter should have asked why when Ukraine has an energy crisis he continues to sell electricity to EU. It’s really interesting that he puts business contracts above the wellbeing of Ukrainian citizens.
  • President Zelensky can speak really good english so why the translator ??
  • The questions about Biden and Trump strike me as ratings-mining. I am appalled that the time wasn’t spent on more pertinent issues.
  • He speaks so beautifully about how Ukraine is fighting for democracy and the values of civilians and she interrupted him to talk about Biden's health. Not just untimely but disrespectful as an interviewer
