Ukrainian President Zelensky is asking President Biden to “follow in the footsteps of other world leaders” and visit Ukraine in order to send a “great signal” of support for his war-torn country as it continues to battle Russia.

President Zelensky made his request in a televised interview with Piers Morgan, where he was joined by his wife, Olena Zelenska.

Zelensky stated that if Biden, 79, were to visit the country, it would send “the strongest signal which can be given in support of Ukraine.”

“I believe this would be a great signal, a big signal. Everyone sees Ukraine’s attitude towards the US. This would be the highest support,” Zelensky stated in the couple’s first joint sit-down interview.

Zelensky acknowledged that the decision was a matter of security, but said that if Biden “has a chance, he will come.”

Many politicians, celebrities, and other public figures have made the journey to Kyiv. Since the war in Ukraine began, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Celebrities who have made visits to the Ukraine to show their support include Ben Stiller, Angelina Jolie, and Sean Penn.

In the interview, Zelensky weighed in on Vladimir Putin, saying he believes the President is, “in fact, sane, and he understands what he’s doing.”

“I’d say that’s the scariest conclusion I can make — that he understands what he’s doing, he knows how many people he kills. He knows how many people were raped, and by who, and the number of children killed or deported,” said Zelensky.

It Takes Two to Tango.

Zelensky believes himself to be innocent in the conflict with Russia. Politicians blame each other and the people pay the price for their careless, despicable actions.

Why can’t our leaders resolve issues peacefully?

Zelensky Blames the World for the War in Ukraine

“Therefore, I only understand one thing: The world allowed this situation to develop, it allowed such a person to emerge, with that ideology and attitude towards people. The world should understand that this result — this mistake, to allow this situation — is the responsibility of the whole world.”

Olena Zelenska, whose two children have been unable to see their father in more than five months because of “security concerns,” and whose 9-year-old son, by her own admission, now dreams of being a soldier, struggled to put into words her contempt for Putin.

“It’s not possible to understand how one crooked idea can throw the whole of mankind into the medieval ages,” she said. “I really don’t have words, and I really don’t want to say anything aloud because normal words don’t exist to describe this.”

Zelensky acknowledged that his nation is now consumed with hatred of Russia and Russians, and he said it was not surprising, given the toll the war has taken on people’s lives.  

President Zelensky argued that Ukraine is not just fighting for its own freedom, but rather for shared values.

Olena Zelesnka recently made a trip to Washington, D.C., where she addressed Congress and asked for more weapons to help repel the Russian forces.

“The West Needs to Help Ukraine”

“As long as we are resisting it, the integrity of the United States will continue, therefore we are giving our lives for your values and the joint security of the world. The most important thing is to survive and preserve your life, your family, and your country. Therefore, at the moment we are doing this job, but the West has to help us.”

Zelensky and his wife, both 44, expressed thanks for having the opportunity to have a “TV date” and spend some time together after their separation caused by war.

“But all of the Ukrainian people are in this situation — too many are separated, and all of us are waiting for and waiting for normal life — to be reunited again and just to lead normal lives like ordinary people live,” Zelenska said.

The president agreed, saying: “This is very important for us. As you know, we are all human beings, and we have to be strong. Sometimes we want to have someone close to be next to us and that is what you miss in these moments.

“Yes, I miss my children, I miss my wife. It is impossible to get used to it. Everything else you can get used to.”

In the beginning of the war with Russia, Zelenska and the couple’s 2 children went into hiding, while Zelensky remained in Kyiv and lived out of his office.

For months, the couple were unable to see one another, but they agreed that all those trials and tribulations have only strengthened their bond.
