The AP Interview Ukraine Zelenskyy (Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)

EDITORS:

The Associated Press interviewed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as he spent two days traveling on a train to a southeastern city that still faces regular Russian shelling, and northern towns that were liberated a year ago.

Zelenskyy warned that unless his nation wins a drawn-out battle in a key eastern city of Bakhmut, Russia could begin building international support for a deal that could require Ukraine to make unacceptable compromises.

The AP is the first news organization to travel extensively with Zelenskyy since the war began over a year ago.
