"In my previous profession, when I was a producer, scriptwriter and actor, I wanted to get an Oscar, I wanted to be popular in the USA... Now I am very popular in the USA," Zelensky told Amanpour. "If this way will help Ukraine, I am ready for the next call with Mr. Trump," he added.Russia conflictZelensky also addressed the ongoing conflict with Russia, emphasizing that hostility from the Kremlin has repercussions outside his country.
