Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak emphasized that during the dispute with US President Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was right and did not make a single mistake.
Points of attention
- It is essential for Ukraine to convey the message that peace negotiations cannot proceed without exerting pressure on Russia, highlighting the significance of maintaining allies like Donald Trump.
- Mykhailo Podoliak underscores the importance of standing firm on Ukraine's principles and not conceding to alleged mistakes, while emphasizing the need for Russian coercion in peace negotiations.
Podoliak commented on the conflict in the Oval Office
According to the advisor to the head of the OPU, the President of Ukraine was right and correctly used the form and content, trying to convey the key idea to Donald Trump's team: the war cannot be stopped without putting pressure on Russia.
It is impossible to achieve positive results by counting on voluntary concessions from Moscow. Peace negotiations are impossible without Russian coercion... Therefore, we will not apologize for an alleged mistake that did not occur.

Against this background, he once again reminded that Ukraine had and remains one enemy — Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation.
In addition, Mykhailo Podoliak added that Donald Trump remains an ally of Ukraine, despite all the recent high-profile conflicts and scandals.
In his opinion, official Kyiv should continue to maintain constructive relations with the United States and resolve differences within the framework of bilateral relations.
