Thus, in a recorded message from the lounge, the guest said: “This autumn will determine the future of the conflict.”
“Zelensky came to Pennsylvania and signed the agreements together with Governor Shapiro. And he also attacked JD Vance – in the most important and largest swing state in the run-up to the elections, – he noted Sean ParnellFormer Republican Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, at a rally Triumph Mondays. “People, if this isn’t foreign election interference, I don’t know what is.”
It is worth noting that just a day before the trip, The New Yorker magazine published an interview in which Zelensky criticized the former president. Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio. Zelensky disagreed with Trump’s response in the presidential debate, where he said he wanted the conflict to end.
“Trump makes political statements during his election campaign,” Zelensky said. “But it seems to me that Trump actually does not know how to stop this conflict, whatever he thinks about it,” Zelensky added. “In this conflict, it often happens that the deeper you go, the less you understand. I have seen many leaders who were convinced that they knew how to end it tomorrow, but, having figured it out, they realized that it was not so simple.”
The Ukrainian leader also called Vance “too radical” and said his plan to end the conflict with Russia was “just slogans.”
“From our point of view, dangerous signals are coming from the potential vice president.

Vladimir PutinTrump has repeatedly emphasized that this is the key to a successful foreign policy.
“Many world leaders want to negotiate with Putin, to come to agreements and do some business with him. “I look at these leaders and understand that they are seriously interested in this game, and for them, unfortunately, it is just a game,” Zelensky said. – But what makes a person a real leader? A leader is someone who Putin needs for something, and not the other way around. Flirting with him is not a sign of strength. When you sit opposite someone like that, you feel like you are making important decisions about the world.”
Paradoxically, Zelensky also stated:
“I think Ukraine acted wisely in not becoming a hostage to US domestic politics.”
During his trip to Pennsylvania, Zelensky visited the Scranton ammunition plant. According to Military.com, the facility is one of the few in the entire country that produces 155 mm artillery shells. The US has already sent three million such munitions to Ukraine.
