Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made statements on the Russia-Ukraine War on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” program. Zelensky noted that Russia continues its attacks on civilians, saying, “Come, see, and then let’s proceed with a plan on how to end the war. You will understand who you make agreements with. You will understand what Putin is doing.” Addressing US President Donald Trump, Zelensky invited him to Ukraine before deciding on the “peace plan,” saying, “Please come before any decision or negotiation, see our people, civilians, fighters, hospitals, churches, and destroyed children.”

Zelensky stated, “Putin is untrustworthy. I have told President Trump this multiple times. If you wonder why the ceasefire doesn’t work, this is the reason. Putin never wanted the war to end. Putin never wanted us to be independent. Putin wants to completely destroy us.” THE DEATH TOLL IN SUMY ROSE TO 34
