Ukrainian President Zelensky rejects Trump's claim in CNN interview

In a CNN interview, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that Ukraine is corrupt. He also said he is ready for another phone call with Trump and open to visiting the White House.

Zelensky spoke wtih CNN's Christiane Amanpour at the Munich Security Conference in his first one-on-one interview since the end of Trump's impeachment trial. A July 25 telephone call between the two men, which Trump repeatedly called "perfect," was at the heart of the impeachment probe. The Senate acquitted Trump earlier this month, finding the President not guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

He’s a good guy. I wish him and the Ukraine well

[BerekH]

How can we complain about Ukraine corruption when we have "Moscow Mitch"?

[dg]

Like we’re in any position to accuse other nations of being corrupt any more.

[OldieBones]

Zelensky should kick Giuliani out of Ukraine. That'd be step 1 to fighting corruption.

[querubekelso]

Poor Zelenski, he is in the most delicate situation.

[samz]

Ukrain is no more corrupt than the USA.

"If this will help Ukraine"
The devotion to his country then and now, always for his people 👏🇺🇦

[hisomeonetrackingmuch]

This poor guy is just trying to do what he can for his very fragile country

[RogerFedora]

As a teacher, I know how Zelensky feels. It's really difficult to work with children.

[BobLinton]

Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

[BerekH]

Notice he said "Mister Trump", not "President Trump". I love the guy. :)

[lbthingsstuffmore]

I like him and I feel bad that he has been put in this terrible position.

[renatacantore-gross]

I'm happy to hear Zelensky's own voice & words. I believe him.

[tinacarter]

I'll take the comedian who actually cares about his country over a failed corrupt businessman/reality tv personality who cares for himself.

[eswyy]

Wow he looks super young. Would be nice to see a US president with that energy for once

[Wolfe-zlld]

If you're not a Trump supporter, then you have down to Earth parents who've taught you right from wrong, to love not hate, and to judge others not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Don't let his followers' anger and bigotry diminish your hopes for a more peaceful and accepting society. Be grateful that you're on the right side of history and keep your children safe.

Peace and love from your fellow American

Even President Zelensky wont refer to Trump as "president"

[chrisgabert]

Anyone else feel really bad for Zelenski? He's just trying to protect his people, man. He's got serious shit going on, while American Idol: White House Edition is playing out over here.

[veecee]

I was skeptical when I started listening to this interview, but I like President Zelensky.

[wesleyrodgers]

Start from scratch. Wait until Bernie is in the Whitehouse in 2021.
