<p>Ben Shapiro traveled to war-torn Kyiv this week for an exclusive 60-minute face-to-face interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.</p>
<p>Speaking in front of the Saint Sophia Cathedral, Shapiro questioned Zelensky on several topics, including his tense March meeting with President Donald Trump, the substantial amount of American taxpayer money Ukraine is receiving, and prospects for peace with Russia.</p>
<p>The interview will be released in two parts on the Ben Shapiro Show on Thursday and Friday.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I traveled to Ukraine to interview President Zelensky. Part 1 of our conversation drops tomorrow on The Ben Shapiro Show. <a href="https://t.co/3jvUIU9m5s">pic.twitter.com/3jvUIU9m5s</a></p>
<p>— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1915121386361626749?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
Shapiro announced the interview on his show on Wednesday, stating that he took a 10-hour ride from Warsaw, Poland, to the Ukrainian capital to meet with Zelensky and “get the answers the American people deserve.”</p>
<p>In an interview teaser, Shapiro asks Zelensky if he thinks he could have handled the contentious February meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance better.</p>
<p>“The meeting in the Oval Office, it did not help Ukraine,” Zelensky said in his response.</p>
<p>Shapiro also asks Zelensky about the $200 billion his country has received from the United States and the concerns Americans have about where the money is ending up.</p>
<p>“There’s nothing to hide,” Zelensky claimed. “We are absolutely open.”</p>
<p>Shapiro’s interview comes as Trump pressures Russia and Ukraine to take his “final offer” peace plan.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Trump took to <a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1915094960853971431" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truth Social</a> to slam Zelensky for making “very harmful” comments to the Washington Post over not legally recognizing Russia’s occupation of Crimea.</p>
<p>“This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion,” Trump wrote.</p>
<p>Trump called the situation in Ukraine “dire” and said that Zelensky can “have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country.”</p>
<p>Trump added that the parties are “very close” to a deal and urged them to “GET IT DONE.”</p>
