Key takeaways from the Ukrainian President’s interview with Sky News:
• Ukraine is the only country smaller than Russia that chose to fight — for its children and for freedom — because Ukrainians want to live free.
• He is willing to meet both Trump and Putin without preconditions, but says he cannot travel to a country actively attacking Ukraine.
• Europe and the U.S. must stop prioritizing their future ties with Russia and focus on Ukraine — every day of debate over sanctions costs Ukrainian lives.
• Comparing defenses, he noted: Ukraine faced 810 drones in one night, shooting down 700, while Poland faced 19 and downed only 4 — and without missile attacks.
• Drones in Poland and Romania are a warning from Moscow: don’t send Ukraine more air defense, you may need them yourselves.
• This is a fast-moving, highly technological war, with drone generations evolving every three months.
• His greatest concern: whether Ukraine will have enough of what it needs to endure.
