Ukraine's Zelensky Discusses Peace Efforts and Household Matters in RTL Direct Interview
By Volker Petersen
Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, sat down for an interview with RTL Direct's Pinar Atalay, discussing the necessity of fair peace after Putin, the steps required to end the ongoing war, and the support of Germany and America.
Zelensky wore a jacket during the interview, in contrast to his usual military sweaters. He explained that he did not wish to wear a suit while his countrymen continued dying in trenches and cities were bombed nightly. His unusual attire caused a stir during his visit to the White House with Donald Trump.
Zelensky expressed his belief that Putin is not willing to end the war, as indicated by recent talks in Istanbul and phone calls. He cited a ceasefire and negotiations as the first steps towards peace, stating that a fair peace may only be possible after Putin.
Germany, under the leadership of the newly-elected Friedrich Merz, has shown a stronger commitment to Ukraine. Merz visited Kyiv shortly after taking office, and Zelensky returned the visit three weeks later. The message was clear: Europe and America stand together.
Merz and Zelensky discussed weapons production, with Merz avoiding specific questions about the Taurus cruise missile. Zelensky, however, was more explicit, stating that he seeks Taurus, Patriot missiles, and political pressure to win the war. He also emphasized the need for German money for weapons production in Ukraine and for stronger sanctions packages against Russia.
During the interview, Zelensky shared personal details about his children. He has a son who he spends five minutes with each morning, and a daughter who has grown up quickly due to the serious nature of the war. Zelensky misses many important moments with his children due to his focus on the war.
The RTL Direct interview will be broadcast at 10:15 PM. The interview covers the significance of peace efforts, the potential for a ceasefire, and the critical role of Germany and America in supporting Ukraine.
Enrichment data suggests that Zelensky has consistently emphasized the importance of taking initial steps towards peace, with a ceasefire being a crucial first step.
