00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says U.S. President Donald Trump was exerting undue
00:05pressure on him in trying to secure a resolution to the nearly four-year-old war pitting Kyiv
00:10against Moscow. Zelensky also says any plan requiring Ukraine to surrender territory in
00:15the eastern Donbas region that Russia has not captured would be rejected by Ukrainians if put
00:20to a referendum. Russia holds about 88% of Donbas. Trump suggests it is up to Ukraine and Zelensky
00:27to take steps to ensure the talks proved successful. But Zelensky adds it is not fair that Trump keeps
00:32publicly calling on Ukraine, not Prussia, to make concessions. He adds his talks with U.S. Envoy
00:38Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner did not involve the same level of pressure.
