Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.
But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD
Here's my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa).
It was an intense and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to do my small part in pushing for peace.
We spoke in a mix of 3 languages: English, Ukrainian, and Russian. It's fully dubbed in each of those 3 languages. The original (mixed-language version) is available as well. So the options are:
- Audio: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Original (Mixed)
- Subtitles: English, Ukrainian, Russian
It's available here on X and everywhere else. On X, I'm uploading the Full English overdub version. The other versions will be available on YouTube (see comment thread).
