Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about his distrust of foreign leaders and criticiced US President Donald Trump for his waning support of Ukraine, in a sprawling interview with Time and European media published Monday. “If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us,” Zelensky said at one point. In the Time interview, Zelensky told reporters how these conspiracy theories harm Ukraine:The United States of America is a signal, for the world, for everyone. Trump has repeatedly said his efforts to extort Ukraine were meant to root out government misconduct in the country, which ousted its former leader, President Petro Poroshenko, for corruption. Billing himself as a reformer, Zelensky succeeded Poroshenko on an anti-corruption platform, and he told Time he has nothing to prove to Trump.
