Zelensky: Ukraine Will Reclaim What’s Its Own — It’s a Matter of Time and Cost
The president gave an interview to Time magazine, stating that a ceasefire does not mean the end of the war, but rather a chance for a diplomatic resolution.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the American publication Time that Ukraine will inevitably regain its territories. According to him, it’s not a question of "if," but of time and the price to be paid.
Time published the full transcript of the interview, including points that were not part of the main article. Zelensky noted that during his visit to the U.S., he defended Ukraine’s dignity directly in the Oval Office, stressing that Kyiv will not abandon its fight for sovereignty.
In the president’s view, Putin is not seeking to end the war now — his goal is to raise the stakes ahead of possible negotiations. Zelensky emphasized that any concessions without guarantees will lead to a repeat violation of agreements.
He also stated that in the current situation, Ukraine increasingly relies on Europe. According to him, EU leaders genuinely view the Ukrainian army as part of the continent’s overall security system.
Regarding a potential ceasefire, Zelensky said that from the moment it begins, there would be up to three months to reach a peace agreement. Otherwise, as he put it, “Putin will break the agreement,” and the situation may return to an open phase of conflict.
Zelensky’s statements came amid renewed international consultations on the terms of a ceasefire and the formation of a framework for future negotiations.
