Zelenskyy compared the conflict with Russia to a pie to be divided

October 3, 2025

In a conversation with journalist Dmitry Komarov, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy made an unexpected statement, comparing the confrontation with Russia to a pie to be shared.

“The conflict is like that pie with the Russian Federation. We can’t eat it – you’ll tear your mouth, ”Zelenskyy said, stressing that it is difficult for Ukraine to resist a country with such territorial space.

The politician sees the solution to the problem in dividing it into pieces.

“This trouble is hard to swallow, you have to cut it into pieces,” Zelenskyy continues the pie analogy.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to be fed from the West. NATO diplomats say Ukraine must defeat Russia. The Kremlin says that this only prolongs the conflict and the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
