Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during his visit to Great Britain, gave an interview to BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg. Among other things, Kuenssberg asked Zelenskyy if he was concerned that the conflict in the Middle East would distract people's attention from what is happening in Ukraine.
"I have very bad premonitions about the impact of this war on the situation in Ukraine," Zelenskyy replied in English. "America's focus is more on the Middle East than on Ukraine, unfortunately. That's why you see what's happening. And there's one reason – the war in Iran."
When asked for clarification on how the negotiation process is proceeding these days, Zelenskyy replied: "President Trump is focused on Iran. The negotiating teams are talking among themselves. Our team talks to the American side every day. I know that the Americans also talk to the Russians every day."
"Because of this war in Iran, the American side said it was ready to host both parties in America. We confirmed our participation, but the Russians are against a meeting in the United States of America. So for now, we are trying to focus on America, suggesting a date and place. Ukraine will support any date and any place, but definitely not in Russia," the Ukrainian president added.
Answering whether Trump's actions made the world more dangerous, Zelenskyy said: "I will not have a fair answer to this. I try to speak objectively, not subjectively. Therefore, I believe that any split in NATO will weaken both sides."
