Zelenskyy warns US against siding with Russia

Original version ·

In a candid chat with NBC News, Zelenskyy admitted what everyone dreads: if Trump officially flips to Putin's side, Ukraine simply cannot stand alone.

Nobody expected diplomatic sugarcoating, but this was about as blunt as it gets. Sitting down with NBC News, Zelenskyy laid out the absolute worst-case scenario without flinching.

His take was painfully simple: if the United States formally switches sides to back Russia, Ukraine will not survive the war. He called that potential pivot a historic mistake and a massive tragedy, though he still insists on treating Donald Trump as a partner who might come around.

Intelligence sharing is reportedly back on after a scary brief pause, but watching Washington freeze sanctions while flirting with Moscow has clearly tested everyone's nerves. At this point, Kyiv would settle for Trump simply staying somewhere in the middle.

Hoping a superpower stays neutral in an existential fight for survival is quite the diplomatic benchmark for 2025.
