Zelenskyy says an EU politician told him to show proof that what's happened in Ukraine 'was not staged'

Zelenskyy said the worst conversation he has had since the war started was with a European Union politician who asked if the war was staged.

There was a bad situation with a leading EU politician. I don't want to talk about it. He said to show us proof that this wasn't staged. Zelenskyy said in an interview that his people really died.

Zelenskyy refused to name the politician or when exactly this conversation happened, but his remarks came after a number of atrocities across Ukraine.

At least 50 people were killed and 100 others were injured when two Russian rockets hit a train station. Five of the people killed were children, according to the governor of the Donetsk region.

Zelenskyy told Ronzheimer that he does not think Putin understands what is happening.

I am sure he has no idea what is happening. He doesn't know how many people die every day and what is happening in reality. Zelenskyy said that he doesn't want to know how many people are killed and how many buildings are destroyed. He needs a result.

The bodies of hundreds of civilians were found in the Ukrainian suburb of Bucha, following the attack in Kramatorsk.

Zelenskyy said there was more destruction to be found.

Some towns were destroyed completely. There are no more buildings, no more people in some towns. I don't know what we will find there, he said.
