Volodymyr Zelensky

Please, please stop saying that Ukraine is a corrupt country, because from now, it's not true. We want to change this image.

I will not agree to go to war in the Donbass. I know there are a lot of hotheads, especially those who hold rallies and say, 'Let's go fight and win it all back!' But at what price? What is the cost? It's another story of lives and land. And I won't do it.

Let's build a country of opportunities, where everybody is equal before the law and where the rules of the game are honest and transparent, and the same for everyone.

When Ukrainians and Israelis speak to each other, each side respects the other.

If there is no Ukrainian strong army, there will be no Ukraine, and that will be the case when everyone will understand... it's not the war in Ukraine, it's the war in Europe. We are defending our country, our land. We are not attacking anyone, because that is immoral.

People don't really believe in words. Or rather, people believe in words only for a stretch of time. Then they start to look for action.

I would never want Ukraine to be a piece on the map, on the chessboard of big global players, so that someone could toss us around, use us as cover, as part of some bargain.

The president can't change the country on his own. But what can he do? He can give an example.

Ukraine and Israel have long-standing historical ties. Our nations have together experienced all the tragedies in recent history - the Holodomor and the Holocaust, the Second World War, and the totalitarian Soviet regime.

I want to do something to change the mistrust towards politicians.

I don't want to interfere in U.S. elections.

I am not a politician. I am just a simple person who has come to break down this system.
