Listened to most of the interview. Always great to listen to Zelensky and probably his best interview he's done for an English audience. The AI translator is really cool. But Lex is...dim. Seems like a nice guy, but quite dim. He fits his American audience quite well and I can see why Zelensky agreed to do the interview; try to reach to the dim American audience's who still think Zelensky flies to the US, comes homes with bags of cash, and there is some magic deal to be made with russia.
Lex constantly brought up russian/Trump talking points (russia saving russian speakers, Trump going to stop the war, Putin loves russia, Trump/Musk care about fighting corruption, etc) and Zelensky basically shat all over his points perfectly.
My favorite quote:
Lex: I hope the people of russia can hear this interview (on YouTube).
Zelensky: You know YouTube is now banned in russia, right?
Lex:...yes. They will hear it on the internet somehow
Lots of great insights into the various ceasefires russia broke, why a ceasefire cannot happen now, behind the scenes getting aid, and dealing with putin directly. If there are people who listen to this interview and still on the fence as to whether russia is justified or support them, then they are as dim as the host.
