‘Everybody Thinks They Understand’: Zelensky Tells Trump He Can’t Comprehend Ukraine War Until He Visits
Breitbart ^ | 04/14/2025 | Oliver JJ Lane

President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a plea to President Donald Trump to personally visit Ukraine and see the impact of the war himself, claiming that others simply can’t understand what’s happening without witnessing it first-hand.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky has appealed to President Donald Trump to visit Ukraine, and argued that figures like Vice President JD Vance, Trump envoy Keith Kellogg, and United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio can’t understand Ukraine without seeing the battlefield.

Asked whether he would invite Trump to Ukraine, Zelensky said in a now-published interview recorded on Friday: “With pleasure. Please. I always wanted very much, that’s what I wanted to do, I did it… I always said that, we want you to come, to come and to see.”

While Zelensky did not outright call Trump or his senior colleagues ignorant, he nevertheless said those who had not been to Ukraine could not understand what is happening there and why.

Trump constantly refers to the death and destruction as his primary motive for wanting the war to end. He refers to the incredible courage ad sacrifice of Ukrainian forces and the suffering of civilians. Trump is not some throwback braying about how glorious it is to ride to earth the heathen foe.

If Trump went to Ukraine, what does Zelensky think he is going to comprehend more accurately? Will he learn that Ukrainians really, really hate Russians and would rather die than let Russia take the parts of Ukraine that Russia has taken? I’m pretty sure Trump knows that.

POTUS and his Security people understand that would be a one way trip.

Besides, what’s to understand?

We already know that whatever happens in, or to Ukraine is none of our business.

Ukraine had 41 million people before the war. Due to the legacy of being a part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine should have a robust arms industry.

Ideally, they should be self-sufficient so they can manufacture all the artillery shells they need without being too dependent on the West.

They're getting there with drones but still have to import some components.
