Thank you for having President Zelensky🇺🇦

[@DirtyPawedPanda]

Wow!! Great job, Chris!! Awesome interview!! 👍🤩

[@lauradiaz-autin3178]

Chris thank you for bringing us this riveting interview when so much is at stake for not only our Ukrainian Brothers & Sisters but for us all who have and still believe in a Free World full of Promising Futures in a Fair Democracy. We as Americans can support through the advocacy of Full and Constant Vigilance in any way POSSIBLE for Ukrainian People and their Courageous Leader President Zilinsky. May our Prayers reach God's ears and Deliver them and US of the Hurrendous Evil that is Putin. Much Love from New Orleans, LA.

[@mmpmazerolle]

Great interview. President Zelensky is so deserving of the Times Person of the Year. President Zelensky is right about the future for the kids. He’s English is excellent. Thanks for continuing to cover Ukraine.

[@roxannekeomaka4754]

That was a spontaneous interview.and appreciate your support for democracy. Ukraine needs the free worlds help. Thank you

[@nataliadacosta8392]

Great interview Chris! Thank you for this. My heart is with Ukraine people. So sad!

[@robertavitabile3538]

The interpreter should be louder than person she’s interpreting

[@mstadpole7726]

I agree. Great interview. God bless Ukraine. I wish interpreter was a little bit louder.

[@monkeywrench1951]

Yeah, the eco doesn’t help either. I know Zelenskyy may be in a bunker, but a filter and a bit more volume for the interpreter would have made listening to the interview a bit better.

[@LaramieWY730]

Learn a bit of Ukrainian and listen to the gorgeous voice of President Zelenskyy. I am so glad the interpreter's voice is low.🇺🇸🇺🇦

[@rebeccakesner9840]

Amazing Interview Chris Zelenski Has My Full Support As Well As The Citizens Of Ukraine I Pray For Him And Ukraine And I Pray That They Win This Fight America Should Continue To Support Ukraine 🇺🇦!

[@debrabelaska3175]

Good morning Chris planning on listening to this once I get up and moving later today. I have shared this to all my platforms.

[@PastorAdrion109]

Victory for Ukraine

[@victorquijada-sawitsky6832]

Chris, thank you for giving President Zelensky the space and time to share his message. I hope the world comes together in support of Ukraine. You are meeting today’s challenges with hope, this is very clear to me. And that your network becomes a mainstream news channel on cable TV.

[@darrickmalloy6909]

I can't imagine what those brave people go through. It tears at my heart for sure.

[@adolphuswilliams9403]

Good interview Chris, but the voice over is of a poor quality and lacks timing. Please, please, redo/re-edit the voice over. Thanks for the hard work!

[@d.c.1132]

yes. please

[@celialum9863]

Great interview!

[@Star-vg3lm]

Thanks brother Chris for your incredible interview ✌🏾

[@nomorea4750]

Thank you for the interview!

[@minniemaklingham4255]

Great interview ! We stand with Ukraine 🙏🇺🇦🙏

[@lenderusas]

Excellent insightful perspective from President Zelenskyy. Thank you for bringing this interview to us. Well done.

[@genevievebahrenburg]

I love that Chris spoke with Zelenskyy! I love them both and have made collages for both of them !

[@theresalreneparada1096]

We should all be concerned when a super power pounces on a small country. A bully like this is after the whole world. Democracy is freedom for all people's. We cannot turn a blind eye to human suffering caused by unjust war.

[@lalaC959]

Congrats on the interview!

[@sherrybowe2340]

Thank you Chris for bringing Zelensky in on interview!

[@monkeywrench1951]

The story of the Phoenix applies here to both Chris Cuomo and Ukraine with Zelenskyy at its helm. I can’t believe that there are thugs in Europe and the US that support the russian war criminals and its mobster leader, Vlad Putin.

[@cathrynevans5196]

So good of you to do this interview. I could hear almost 0 from him and hope that later you will republish this interview without his voice being so loud and Ukrainian but the translators voice being louder in English?

[@deniseburns5902]

18:45 loved the interview and I pray for Ukrainian people

[@amydennison2910]

I am so glad to have Chris back!!!

[@Verbsdescribeus]

Peace and solidarity for Ukraine! Chris was there in July and reported from the war zones. What a great journalist!

[@WelcomeToTripCity]

Solid interview, Chris. Good job dude.

[@Boorock123456]

This is amazing!!!!! Great job Mr. Cuomo!!

[@kangzau1006]

CC is the bomb. You can not put a good man down. Support to VZ and people of Ukraine

[@PastorAdrion109]

A true Leader Zelensky. Very upstanding guy.

[@ashrpblond]

not so sure about that theres an american that lives in ukraine and sees whats really going on and he says russina is winning and will no way lose and zelensky knows this but won't sign peace treaty because then all the money stops flowing in for him. look at all the billions american has given to them and about every 3 months he is asking for more. what are they really doing with all the money

[@pastorAdrion]

@@ashrpblond USA should continue to help him because dt might have told secrets that we don’t know. We know dt tried quid pro quo on him. So this is payback for dt mess

[@JennMarieX]

I am grateful that you gave President Zelenskyy the platform & while I do hope you go back to Ukraine, please be safe when you do so. Slava Ukraine

[@Thegoodlifecast]

Wow some of these comments…. A fellow human being and his country (human beings) are being attacked without cause…..why wouldn’t you want to help? Appreciate the interview and dedication to truth.

[@ashrpblond]

yeah but zelensky and his troops were getting ready to attack russia and russian beat them to it good ol zel just isn't telling you that part. and why are we giving away our countries money when we have so many homeless people here and hungry or can't pay there bills whatever it may be there are plenty of us that need help and we aren't getting it but see idiot sending billions to ukraine. and thats because they have so much crap on hunter he doesn't want to come out. its all a freaking game. and why wouldn't we want to help...would ukraine help us if it was reversed and give us billions ...hell no and i don't particularly enjoy paying almost $8 a galloon of gas..my car used to fill up on 40. now 100 doesnt fill it up..i don't enjoy spending $8 for a gallon of milk or $7 for a galloon of tea or a steak used to be 10,00 is now 30 or a roast that was 15 is now over 40 ..a turkey for thanksgiving was 18 pounds and was 85. a ham today for christmas nothing fancy just a ham for $95..or my apt that was renting for 2200 a year ago is now 3200...and all of it has to do with that poor human being and his country being attacked and then we are told we just need to deal with it. i don't feel we need to deal with crap someone needs to step in and get biden out of office before he does or says something he can't take back ,,he is putting all of america in danger and harris needs to go too she has had over a year to control the border and well you see how well she has done there. mickey mouse could do a better job than either of them..the fact that he thinks he can run in 24 and win should tell you how delusional he is. and is anyone really going to be shocked if putin does something . its like biden is just shoving all this in his face and does exactly what he shouldn't be doing...its so F876CKED yup

[@monkeywrench1951]

Thanks!

[@jacintaryan6085]

And a very happy Christmas to you and your family Chris

[@ArifaIsabel]

Thank you for the interview and for posting this, was hoping to see it! In Europe we unfortunately can't see your new tv show. Used to watch you every day on CNN. Wishing president Zelensky and the Ukrainian people all the best and I hope the rest of the world will keep supporting them. 💙💛 Also, Merry Christmas and love to you and your family and your project team, Chris! ❤🎄

[@lillyd9231]

thank you for a great interview 👍

[@mariewells3323]

Thank you,

[@Stormbrise]

Thanks for this interview! In the future though lower the volume on his talking and raise the translator with your mixing board. It is really hard to understand the translator.

[@rosannajacksonwright927]

Thank you

[@elisecachia]

He might be my long lost cousin and I cry sometimes. It is hard. If things get better I will go and try DNA. My grandfather’s sister was Zelensky’s great grand mother. Nathan, my grandfather lost the whole family but this one and a brother who escaped to Switzerland and loved in Israel. God Bless him ! Nathan came here in 1899 with wife and kids. 2:47

[@rhea7756]

Hey...from where did u get Zelensky's ancestory? I also have a Ukrainain Jewish ancestory from Zelensky's hometown. I want to to check it for myself

[@elisecachia]

@@rhea7756 my father received a phone call in 1970 that one boy survived the fire and was the only survivor in my grandfather’s family under the name Krylik or Krulik. His sister was Zelensky ‘s great grandmother. . I just learned about him when the war broke out.

[@elisecachia]

The area was Galicia

[@elisecachia]

Nathan Krylik had ten kids and my father was the youngest one. His mother was about 49 when he was born. His sister was thirty years older than him and the same mother. Nathan lost about 12 brothers and sisters during the war .

[@rhea7756]

@@elisecachia if that's true then u share a close relation with Zelensky. Perhaps, he would be please to find u. I remember him telling he doesn't have many relatives as many were lost during WW2 period

[@davidgeorge7443]

I can't understand the interpreter while also trying to listen to Zielinski

[@blah_z]

I'm looking at a cat at the moment and thinking out loud you have no idea of how lucky we are at the mo!

[@barbarawood9518]

Nothing but respect for this man and the people of Ukraine! Thank you Chris..! I thank you and News Nation! 👍❤️

[@canadacommando]

I was disappointed that his voice overwhelmed the translator and I couldn't make out most of the interview. I had the captions on but most of the conversation wasn't captioned.

[@russianprincess3673]

Loved watching this ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheEsquireClub]

CUOMO ROCKS!👊🏼✨

[@TheEsquireClub]

BTW, MERRY CHRISTMAS GOOD PEOPLE! ✌🏼😊

[@MG-do7yg]

Just seen your interview on Brian's channel and I had to sub, I've been an independent since around 9/11

[@monkeywrench1951]

Zelenskyy is a real life hero. When Putin invaded Ukraine I was sure Ukraine would fall BUT the Ukrainian people prevailed with great sacrifice and ingenuity. I hope that the Ukrainians can stop Putin and his war criminals on their tracks before they start World War 3. They need all the help we (all free nations) can give them. I am thankful for their sacrifice.

[@sweetsalvation7143]

Happy new year Chris ❤️ 🎇

[@mikeagresta]

I saw you on the BTC show and just subscribed to the Chris Cumo Project. I was a regular viewer when you were on CNN. One of the reasons I did not seek you out on News Nation is that I got it confused with News Max which I would never watch. For what it is worth if News Nation changed it’s name and distance itself from News Max the ratings will probably go up. I’m 70.

[@patriciaburke2401]

God bless President Zelensky and his country. Can the volume for the interpreter be turned louder? Thanks for sharing.

[@pidaripley7147]

A great opportunity totally wasted by the appalling sound system/editing. So amateur -why?

[@sandystoppkotte4715]

Probably because this is a new team for Chris.

[@jamiesaari]

I was so excited to listen to this, but the audio of the English interpreter is so low it’s hard to make out what she is saying. Can you add captions to the video?

[@darrickmalloy6909]

New Sub. Excited to be here. Saw you on Brian Tyler. Always been a supporterter.🤓

[@blueseruser]

I saw him also on Brian’s show, he’s been thru a lot, but here he is again, not broken, but much wiser and speaks truth to the Independent movement that anyone can see is important for us all to break the hold of the 2 party system that has created the animosity and division of our populace!

[@Adoptpets833]

I wish I lived in a world where America had a true and good man of enormous courage and insight such as President Zelensky.

[@murray7379]

Glad to see you on BTC. I watching you. I finally cut the cord, and discovered the Meidas Touch, that ultimately led me to your interview. I subscribed! And will be following you!

[@ruthdaley2458]

I love the interview it has been the best part of my day. Thank you for bringing this interview to us. Have a wonderful holiday. 💙💛🇺🇦

[@Rachel-nb9ex]

Hope this war stops. Hope that the U.S. continues to support and honors his request of as many wings possible. Help from all allies needed. He needs as many wings because he fights for peace. He not only is worthy of being on the cover of TIME Magazine, He is worthy of a NOBLE PEACE AWARD. It is difficult to respond to the question “ Have we done enough?”, When there is still an active war. Of course President Zelensky and his people will be forever grateful. Yet, the war is not over nor is the need for more wings. Great interview. Thank you Chris Como. All the best for this new year for you and your loved ones. For President Zelensky, never have I traveled to Ukraine, yet , when this is all over , together with my family I will. Keep strong and brave. Beautiful Country , Beautiful People. Victory To Ukraine💛💙

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

this was totally butchered. Optics are there, but the audio makes this impossible to listen to. Really poor. It's like Z declared a war on lucid communication.

[@nancylambert8024]

Hey guys. Translation is talking when the president is talking. Very difficult to understand. Anything you can do to improve this.

[@CafeDisco1976]

Zelensky is everything a real man and leader should be. ❤

[@matthaney8437]

[@rammo4035]

Sorry Chris, very bad interview. Impossible to understand mix of voices!

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

finally someone just says it.

[@KleWdSide]

I think this video needs some editing & should be re-uploaded. Zelensky's voice is overpowering the translator & it's nearly unwatchable.

[@peachesandpoets]

Love you Mo. Miss talking to you on Sirius. An old friend.

[@bibahusak9460]

Can't hear the translation sadly so can't really watch this. Hope you can improve improve it so I can come back and watch.

[@xavierdomange9591]

Increase the audio of the interpreter or add subtitles

[@sandystoppkotte4715]

@chriscuomo Please re-post with translation turned up and Mr. Zelenskyy's voice turned down.

[@susankillin2154]

I hope we do all we can to make sure Ukraine wins this war and Putin is brought to justice.

Thanks Chris for this interview,Ukrainian will surly win the war.

[@josesbox9555]

Great interview. The dubbing sux

[@independentvoter8710]

The Interview was botched. No effort was made to make this conversation understandable. Couldn't even have bothered to add subtitles. Two minutes in and I'm out.

[@willettmary889]

Ha bud, you need to work on sound system so translator is clearly heard English, whilst the foreign language (Ukraine) is in the background, instead of fighting against the English translator.

[@OnceUponReddit]

You're talking to a war criminal

[@matthewcote8407]

What happened to the bird?

[@ctcamara]

YT is not delivering these videos... 😞

[@TheKyleSaurusRex3388]

Where’s the bird, Chris!? What did you do to that bird?!

[@zerofox7347]

How does the interpreter finish speaking before zielinski each time?

[@johncito4313]

Would you please consider reposting this with a better sound balance. IMHO, his voice is too strong and the interpreter is too weak. I would like to listen to it all over again without the distractions, if it is possible. Thank you.

[@alg1335]

Chris I love that you are doing this! Blessings to you and our Ukrainian Brothers and Sisters! Our prayers are our strongest and biggest weapon and we have our prayer army deployed from day 1💜💚💙🙏🏼🍀

The interview with the president of Ukraine having an interpreter both were talking at the same time it was very difficult to understand it it was not a very successful interview. I always watch your news nation in your podcast and this one did not make the grade

[@raisakuzaka7584]

Good interview ! Just wonder how Mr. Lazarenko, his wife and his well educated daughters would comment on where Ukraine is today as a country. Would they be proud of Ukrainians, our current and future financial situation or they would not be proud of us that much?! Would he consider to give back to Ukraine, the country that provided him with MORE than an ordinary vise president of any other country could imagine or he would not consider to do that?!
