Volodymyr Zelensky - Ukraine's spirit of fierce resistance

In an interview marking fifty days since Russia invaded Ukraine - President Zelensky talks war and peace in a candid conversation with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Clive Myrie.

Since the war in Ukraine began fifty days ago, President Zelensky has been holed up in central Kyiv. His war rooms are protected by heavily armed troops - along with mines and explosives that ring the building. Long, dark corridors lead to a door on which a name plate reads "Situation Room". Inside the command centre is where Presdent Zelensky has agreed to hold a rare interview - with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Clive Myrie - who's been reporting on the war since it began. In a frank conversation, he says the atrocities apparently committed by Russian troops in Mariupol, and in the Kyiv suburbs of Bucha and Borodyanka, has further narrowed the possibility of peace talks with the Russians. And he accuses European countries that continue to buy Russian oil of "earning their money in other people's blood".
