'Not sure we did something bad': Zelensky refuses to apologize after spat with Trump

Raw Story  

Acknowledging the Oval Office fiasco he found himself at the center of was “not good,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held his ground hours later in a Fox News interview where he refused to ask President Donald Trump for forgiveness. “So, I'm just telling that I think that we have to be on the same side, and I hope that the president, on our side together with us and that is very important to stop Putin.” But Baier continued to press Zelensky on whether he believes Trump is due an apology for what the Fox News host called the “public spat.” “I'm not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the president an apology. “No, I respect president, and I respect the American people, and if – I don't know.I think that we have to be very open and very honest,” Zelensky said. I think maybe sometimes, some things, we have to discuss out of media, with all respect to the democracy and to a free media, but there are things that where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians" He added: “And I think that is the most important thing.” But Zelensky also used the opportunity to make clear that American support is vital to his country’s freedom from Russian aggression.
