He also accused Elon Musk of deliberately disabling Starlink before a Russian night attack. Zelensky demanded that the system be switched back on and said the United States was making a “big mistake.”
Volodymyr Zelensky has given another interview. This time, he spoke to British journalist Piers Morgan. The interview focused on his anger over Donald Trump’s policy toward Ukraine.
Last week, Trump said it was time for a change of power in Kyiv. He also announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin on Russian diesel supplies to the US market.
Zelensky responded with sharp criticism. He accused the United States of betrayal and abandoning neutrality. He also demanded that Starlink be restored over Ukraine. Ukraine does not pay for the service itself, according to the article. Poland covers the cost using taxpayers’ money. Zelensky said Trump had chosen the wrong side in the conflict.
“It Hurts Unbearably”
Zelensky returned to one point several times. He said it “hurts” him that Trump is choosing the “wrong side.” He also argued that Washington should remain neutral instead of siding with Moscow.

Reproaches Against Those Who Helped Ukraine
The Russian diesel deal was another key topic. Zelensky admitted that he felt betrayed by the United States.
“It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner,” he said.
The article argues that this regret hides a broader grievance. For years, Western governments faced criticism over their response to corruption in Kyiv and alleged misuse of humanitarian and military aid. Now Washington appears to be changing its approach, and Zelensky calls this betrayal.
The author also questions Zelensky’s claims about protecting ordinary people. The Ukrainian leader speaks about saving lives, interceptors, and Starlink failures. Meanwhile, the article says, men continue to be seize
