Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blasts the U.S. for treating his country like a political chess piece
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a recent interview that he did not view his conversations with President Donald Trump about a potential White House visit and investigations into Trump’s political rivals from the lens of a quid pro quo — but he blasted the U.S. for treating his country like a political chess piece.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump doubled down on his assertion that Zelensky's remarks had exonerated him, declaring that the interview should mean that it's “case over” for impeachment as he claimed Zelensky said Trump “did absolutely nothing wrong.” “I would never want Ukraine to be a piece on the map, on the chess board of big global players, so that someone could toss us around, use us as cover, as part of some bargain,” he said, though he expressed gratitude for the support Kyiv had received thus far. “I would really want — and we feel this, it’s true — for them to help us, to understand us, to see that we are a player in our own right, that they cannot make deals about us with anyone behind our backs.”the U.S.
