Takeaways from the AP interview with Ukraine´s Zelenskyy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : Approving Ukraine´s NATO bid would be "a great victory" for Trump, Zelenskyy added, in an apparent appeal to the president´s penchant for winners and business deals.
54% : He also said Ukraine´s armed forces would be a bonus for the alliance, especially if Trump seeks to bring back home overseas U.S. troops.
48% : He also said he and Trump discussed meeting to develop a plan for a ceasefire.
47% : Zelenskyy said he told both French President Emmanuel Marcon and Trump that the option of putting European troops in Ukraine was welcome, but it would not be a sufficient security guarantee alone.
46% : He said Trump could bring Putin to the table through the threat of sanctions targeting Russia´s energy and banking system, as well as continued support of the Ukrainian military.
40% : Zelenskyy said NATO membership is the "cheapest" option for Ukraine's allies, and it would strengthen Trump geopolitically. Other scenarios that involve arming and training Ukraine´s 800,000-strong army would be expensive for U.S. and European allies to maintain over time, Zelenskyy said.
33% : His remarks followed comments Friday by Trump, who said American and Russian officials were "already talking" about ending the war.
32% : Trump said his administration has had "very serious" discussions with Russia, but he did not elaborate.
