Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy fears it will be “very dangerous” if the conflict with Russia exceeds 1,000 days and his country begins to lose its unity.
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst caught up with Zelensky in an interview on “Special Report” that aired Tuesday and asked him how he would end the Russia-Ukraine road in 1,000 days.
After meeting with Zelensky outside the front lines, Yingst asked him about the state of the war compared to the beginning of the war. President Zelenskiy said the early years were the most difficult, but any movement now depends on unity against Russia.
“I think that period was the most difficult period, but I think that this period, this moment, depends on the unity of Ukraine. What is very dangerous is losing the unity of Europe, and the most important thing is , the unity of Ukraine and the United States,” Zelenskiy said.
