“Before, everything was based on relations with the Soviet Union. We, Ukraine, since independence I think we built more relations with Europe because we are on the European continent, and because Ukraine has always wanted to join the European Union. And I think that this meant a political defeat because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and diplomats had to work to build strong economic relations with Latin America“, he analyzed in relation to the ties with the region.

The Pope’s support for Ukraine

Among other topics, the interview with Vladimir Zelenski spoke about Pope Francis’ relationship with Ukraine: “The Pope supports the Ukrainians and supports Ukraine. He really wants this bloody war to end.” At that point, he added: “(The Pope) tried to help, and I was very grateful to him.”

“The second time I met with him was recently. He wanted the Vatican to be represented at a peace summit, and he wanted the Pope to support my formula for peace. And that nobody take advantage of his political personality or as a communicator, because sometimes the Pope talks about something and the media, some media – especially the Russian ones – begin to distort it in their favor“, he added.
