🏠🗯🇺🇦👤 — 🏠 The White House | President Trump, VP Vance Are Standing Up for Americans | February 28, 2025:

"President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance will always stand up for the interests of the American people and those who respect the United States' position in the world and will never allow the American people to be taken advantage of.

President Trump: "Let me tell you, you don't have the cards. With us, you have the cards - but without us, you don't have any cards."

More than half (52%) of Ukrainians want a quick end to the war and believe Ukraine "should be open to ceding some territory in exchange for peace," according to a November Gallup poll. Since martial law was declared in Ukraine, 1,000,050 Ukrainians have been drafted into military service. In October 2024, Ukraine announced it would be drafting another 160,000 bringing the total number of connoscripted Ukrainians to 1,160,050.The average age of Ukrainian troops is 43 years old.

"Even if the West did come through with all the weapons they have pledged, 'we don't have the men to use them, one of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's close aides told Time's Simon Shuster, revealing that the average age of a Ukrainian soldier has already reached 43."

One of Zelenskyy's closest aides told TIME in 2023 that he is "[deluding] himself... We're out of options. We're not winning. But try telling him that." The Ukrainian army is facing rising. desertions as "ill-trained and exhausted soldiers [go] AWOL," with the military further strained by struggles in recruiting and the "arrests of respected and popular combat officers."

President Trump: "You're gambling with World War III."

Zelesnkyy himself has acknowledged that the situation in Ukraine could lead to WWIII, and that without U.S. aid, they would lose: "A third world war could start in Ukraine, continue in Israel, and move on from there to Asia, and then explode somewhere else."

President Trump: "I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets."

President Trump gave anti-tank javelin missiles to Ukraine, while Obama gave non-lethal aid only, including blankets.EURACTIV: "Poroshenko asks Obama for weapons, obtains blankets" President Trump approved lethal weapons sales to Ukraine in 2017: "The new arms include American-made Javelin anti-tank missiles, U.S. officials said."

President Trump approved a $39 million sale of defensive lethal weapons to Ukraine in 2019: "The new package will include Javelin anti-tank weapons, with one U.S. official saying it includes 150 missiles and two launchers."

Vice President Vance: "You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October."

"Stories that Ukraine is already destroyed, millions have died, and the president is a dictator. Where is the friendship between the US and Ukraine? — an exclusive interview with Volodymyr Zelensky for the American channel Fox News.

Main statements:

🔹 Grateful to the Americans. US aid has been critically important since the beginning of the war.

🔹 If anyone wants to verify the funds sent to us, we are open to this.

🔹 I respect Trump and I respect the American people. But I'm not sure we did anything wrong. The Trump administration needs to hear Ukraine's position.

🔹 As Reagan said, "peace is not the absence of war." That's why I said the ceasefire would be violated.

🔹 We are strategic partners. In these difficult times, we must be honest.

🔹 We wouldn't want to lose our biggest partner.

🔹 If you had the opportunity to return to the White House right now, would you return?
Zelensky: No.

🔹 Only Ukrainians elect the president of Ukraine - in response to Republican Lindsey Graham, who called on Zelenskyy to resign.

🔹 I don't know if today's situation in the White House was planned.

🔹 I think we need to discuss something without the media. We are very close partners with the US.

🔹 President Trump wants to end this war, no one wants it more than we do. In Ukraine, we are fighting for freedom, for our lives.

🔹 I can't tell my people: "Stop." No one will stop, because everyone is afraid that Putin will return tomorrow.

🔹 I can't change our attitude towards the Russians because they are murderers. This doesn't mean we don't want peace.

🔹 Grateful to Trump that he wants to end the war, but Putin has violated the ceasefire 25 times.

🔹 Ukrainians just want to hear that the US is on our side, not on Russia's side

🔹 It is very important to stop Putin. I heard from President Trump that he will stop the war and I hope that it will be with our European allies.

🔹 We are ready to sign an agreement on minerals, but this is not enough.

🔹 We are ready for peace. But we have to be in a strong position. We need guarantees.

🔹 My relationship with Trump can be saved. Historically, the relationship between our peoples is strong. The Americans helped save the Ukrainians."
