Zelensky comments on US position regarding reparations from Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky explained the US stance on funds Ukraine could receive from Russia for war damages. He emphasized that financial compensation is crucial for rebuilding the country.
When asked about former US President Donald Trump’s position, Zelensky said:
“We are primarily interested in Russia giving us money, and that it would be reparations. Americans call this compensation rather than reparations because, honestly, they don’t like the word ‘reparations.’”
Zelensky stressed that this financial support is critical for Ukraine’s recovery and that the position has been discussed and aligned with European partners.
