Zelensky, in particular, emphasized that it was “very difficult” to put pressure on him.
“In my life I only heard about pressure from my grandmother, who lived with us. I generally lived with two grandmothers, and all the time measured their pressure. In principle, I heard pressure about myself in my youth, and only referring to such stories, ”he joked.
He also noted that only economic and geopolitical relations are important for Ukraine and the USA.
“I understood that after our call a story stretched out. I did everything so that Ukraine would not be drawn into this political issue, because between countries that respect each other regardless of nationality, religion and breadth, importance, nuclear or nuclear weapons, only economic and geopolitical relations are important, ”the Ukrainian president explained.
At the same time, according to him, “everything is fine” in Ukrainian-American relations, and cooperation between countries should continue to be developed, not worsened.
“As far as I know, everyone read the entire text of the conversation ... This is a popular reading matter, as I understand it, the United States could then sell it as a bestseller and sell it! They make money on everything, ”Zelensky added.
Earlier, the US Senate approved the procedure for the impeachment of Trump, who is accused of abuse of power and obstructing the work of Congress.
On September 25, the White House published a transcript of a telephone conversation between Trump and Zelensky, during which the Ukrainian president promised that the new prosecutor general of Ukraine would study the situation with the son of former US vice president Joe Biden.
In October, Zelensky said he did not see the corruption component and the violation of the law in Trump’s request for an investigation into Biden and his son.
