🇺🇦 Journalists asked Zelensky whether he had become Trump’s scapegoat. Zelensky paused, smiled, and then left the press conference.

He also made a number of other statements:

✔️ I urge the EU to provide us with another €70 billion in support next year. Find the money.

✔️ Ukraine will become a member of the European Union. More and more people understand that our country also needs to be part of NATO.

✔️ The issue is not the withdrawal of troops from Donbas. It is about the very existence of our country. Right now, we are standing our ground and fighting. What is the alternative? Annihilation.

✔️ What will happen if we fall? Twenty million Ukrainians will come to Europe, because we will be destroyed and driven out.

✔️ We are also protecting Moldova from Russian attempts to create problems through Transnistria.

✔️ Sometimes we even have to redeploy some of our military forces from other tasks to manage the risks coming from Transnistria.
