More from Zelensky's statements at the press conference: ▪️Trump wants to end the war as soon as possible, we agree on that. I believe he will help us. ▪️With all due respect, we do not recognize the $500 billion debt. ▪️I don't even recognize $100 billion, we agreed with Biden that this is a grant! A grant is not a debt. ▪️I know how to sign agreements with serious guys - to remain friends, but understand how you will separate. ▪️I am not signing something that will then be paid by 10 generations of Ukrainians. ▪️The agreement states that for every dollar of US aid, Ukraine must return 2, it is written there. I underlined it in red. For understanding, this is a 100% loan. I have a question: if this is forced and we cannot do without it, we should probably do it. ▪️Yermak is currently communicating with American partners. There are no more $500 billion and no more interest. We are moving forward. ▪️Trump is not forever, but we need peace for many years to come.
