This is a much longer version of the excellent Axios interview between Zelenskyy and @barakravid.bsky.social that I posted yesterday. It's in English (not dubbed) and this one has Ukrainian subtitles. The additional content is mixed in. (None of the edits in the shorter version were misleading.)

I think I’ve watched nearly every interview President Zelensky has given in the last 3 and 1/2 years. This was above and beyond— absolutely the very best one.

Thank you, @barakravid.bsky.social — or as President Biden would say: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! 🕊️

I’ve seen hundreds of interviews with Zelenskyy and this is THE best one I’ve EVER seen. It’s entirely in English. This interviewer is excellent because he asks follow up questions, and NEW questions.
Do not listen in the background! You need to see his expressions, especially at the end.
