According to him, during the negotiations of the US and the Russian Federation, the Russians managed to influence some people from the Presidential Administration Donald Trump. He said this in an interview with Time, published on March 24. The Ukrainian leader confessed that he was worried about the Russian misinformation on the White House.
He recalled that during a telephone conversation, Putin told Trump that thousands of Ukrainian military were in the Russian surrounding area in the Kursk region. "It was a lie," Zelensky journalist said, and said that the US president continued to insist on it. According to the President of Ukraine, it looked like a template, and American officials began to believe in the word Moscow, even when it was contrary to the US intelligence.
"I believe that Russia has been able to influence some people from the White House team through information," Zelensky said. He added that the Russians try to convince Americans that Ukraine does not want to stop the war and need to do something to force it. In addition, the Ukrainian president assured that the suspension of American assistance was not a major factor that influenced the problems of defense forces of Ukraine in Kursk region. "This is not related. Do not understand me wrong.
The combat condition always depends on whether your partners are standing nearby. But I would not say that the freezing has affected surgery in Kursk," Zelensky explained. On March 14, Truth Social said that the day before he had productive negotiations with Putin, who asked the Russian president to "save lives" for thousands of Ukrainian military who were allegedly surrounded in the Kursk region.
On March 17, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov commented on the situation and actions of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region. He assured that no unit is surrounded and the Ukrainian army controls a large part of the enemy's territory.
