Zelenskyy: President Trump and I are on one side when we talk about the need to end this Russian war. But we see different tools to achieve this goal. My philosophy is that Putin is a deeply Soviet man both in his reality and in his mentality. We know this because my generation was born in the Soviet Union. When Putin lies, we feel it. We have been neighbors with the Russians for so many years. That's why I think we understand the Russians better than the United States. The United States, given global security issues, can discuss various issues with the Russians. But we understand the mentality of both Putin and the Russian people, their military and civilians. When they are ready to do something, and when they are afraid of Putin because they know they can go to jail. If they do not go to kill Ukrainians, Putin will punish them in his own way.Therefore, in some issues President Trump supported us, and in others we have different views.From an interview with The Sun.
