And of course, in all difficult situations, you have a chance. But we would have a low chance, low chances of surviving without support from the USA, answers Zelenskyj to a direct question in an interview with American NBC News, in connection with a security conference in Munich.

I do not want to think that we would not be strategic partners, he adds.

The support from the USA is critical, even in the event of an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a ceasefire in the Russian war of aggression, according to Zelenskyj.

This is really what he (Putin) wants. He wants to pause, prepare, train, and get rid of some sanctions through a ceasefire.
