  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed his discomfort with U.S. President Donald Trump taking a stance that favors one side over another in Ukraine's conflict with Russia. In an interview on Wednesday, Zelenskiy told Piers Morgan Uncensored, \"It's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side.\" He maintained his stance that if one is in the middle of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, they should remain impartial.\n\nWhen asked if he felt betrayed by Trump, who recently called for Ukraine to replace its leader after agreeing to lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports, Zelenskiy replied, \"Really, yes... but it's a little bit more complicated than just my emotions or my feelings. It's a pity we are losing a strong partner.\" He emphasized that the situation is not about business for Ukraine, stating firmly, \"It's just our life, and this is our country.\"",
