Hardly six months into his tenure as the President of #Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has already learned to temper his expectations. He does not expect his first round of peace talks with #Russia, which are scheduled to take place in Paris on Dec. 9, to end the #war that has been raging along their border for the past five years, writes Simon Shuster. Nor does he expect too much from his Western allies going into these negotiations, Zelensky said in a wide-ranging interview in #Kyiv on Nov. 30. Speaking to reporters from TIME and three of #Europe’s leading publications, the President explained that, despite getting caught up in the #impeachment inquiry now unfolding in Washington, D.C., Ukraine still needs the support of the United States.

Nor can Ukraine rely on steady financial support from abroad if President Donald #Trump and his allies continue to signal to the world that Ukraine is corrupt, Zelensky said. “When America says, for instance, that Ukraine is a corrupt country, that is the hardest of signals.” Read the full interview at the link in bio.
