Zelenskyy REVEALS 'what has changed' in war with Russia

. NOW BACK TO "HANNITY.". ♪♪. >> Sean: LEADERS FROM ALL OVER. THE WORLD WERE IN OUR NATION'S. CAPITAL TODAY TO CELEBRATE THE. LIFE AND LEGACY OF SENATOR. LINDSEY GRAHAM INCLUDING ONE. LEADER WHO SHARED A PARTICULARLY. CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH SENATOR. GRAHAM. THAT'S UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT. ZELENSKYY. EARLIER TODAY HE MET WITH. PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE WHITE. HOUSE AND HE JOINS US NOW WITH. MORE. MR. PRESIDENT, IT'S GOOD TO SEE. YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

I SAID IN THE EULOGY TODAY, TRUE, LINDSEY, LIKE SO MANY. PEOPLE, THINK THE MILITARY MIGHT. OF RUSSIA IS MASSIVE. INVADES UKRAINE. HE BUILDS UP HIS ARMY AND. EQUIPMENT. MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK YOU HAD. A SHOT, AND NOW WE'RE GOING ON. FIVE YEARS IN. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. DRAMATICALLY. TELL US WHAT'S CHANGED. >> FIRST OF ALL, A LOT OF THINGS. HAVE BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE OF.

SUCH PEOPLE LIKE LINDSEY. I WANTED TO COME HERE AND TO. REALLY TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY AND. TO BE THANKFUL. WHY? BECAUSE OF LINDSEY. WE HAD SUCH SUPPORTERS OF. UKRAINE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WHO REALLY BELIEVED IN UKRAINE. AND HE -- IN DANGEROUS PLACES,

HE CLOSED THE FRONT LINE, AND. WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS, SO WE'RE. THANKFUL TO HIM FOR SUCH. SUPPORT, AND TRUST AND BELIEF IN. UKRAINE. SO SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE. WAR, WHEN PUTIN SAID THAT HE. WOULD OPEN US IN TWO OR THREE. DAYS, NOW WE BUILT A GREAT. MILITARY INDUSTRY. WE HAVE 500 COMPANIES WITH VERY. STRONG TECHNOLOGIES, SO NOW. PUTIN IS LOSING 30,000 SOLDIERS.

PER MONTH. I MEAN, THIS IS TOO MUCH LOSSES. LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID, IT'S. MANY LOSSES BUT HE DOESN'T WANT. TO STOP THIS WAR. INITIATIVE IS NOT IN THE HANDS. OF PUTIN AND THIS IS THE MAIN. THING THAT'S BEEN CHANGED. >> Sean: SO ONE -- I HAVE READ. REPEATEDLY THAT, AND YOU LOOK AT. YOUR DRONE WARFARE. EVEN ROBOTIC WARFARE THAT YOU. HAVE USED, AND YOU KEEP BUILDING.

OUT THE NEXT GENERATION OF, FOR. EXAMPLE, DRONES. I'M TOLD ANYWHERE BETWEEN FOUR. AND 10 DAYS YOU WILL HAVE THE. NEXT GENERATION OF DRONES AND. YOU HAVE PENETRATED INTO MOSCOW. AND BEYOND, HITTING STRONG. MILITARY TARGETS WITHIN RUSSIA. THAT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED, I AM. SURE, BY VLADIMIR PUTIN. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO. DEAL WITH IT. >> I THINK THIS IS REALLY A BIG. PROBLEM FOR HIM. WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAR IS.

CHANGING EVERY THREE TO SIX. MONTHS. WE HAVE TO CHANGE TECHNOLOGIES, AND THAT'S WHY A MILITARY. PLATEAU AND WE HAVE A LOT OF. COMPANIES. WE CHANGE DRONES. TODAY THESE DRONES CAN WORK ON. THE BATTLEFIELD BUT AFTER THREE. TO SIX MONTHS THEY CAN'T. SO THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO BE. STRONG EACH MOMENT AND CHANGE. TECHNOLOGIES AND BE QUICKER, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE QUICKER. THAN PUTIN BECAUSE PUTIN HAS. MORE PEOPLE THAN WE, AND WE HAVE.

TO SAVE OUR PEOPLE AND USE MORE. TECHNOLOGIES THAN PUTIN. >> Sean: UKRAINE'S OFFENSIVE. HITS 13 RUSSIA SHIPS. YOU'VE HIT BEYOND MOSCOW AND. BEYOND. >> WE WANT TO STOP THIS WAR. WE'RE ASKING, PRESIDENT TRUMP. WANTS AND THE EUROPEANS WANT, PUTIN DOESN'T WANT. WE'RE ASKING TO STOP THIS WAR. EACH DAY, TO, AT A MINIMUM,

CEASE-FIRE, FOR SOME PERIOD OF. TIME. AND GIVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR. DIPLOMATS TO NEGOTIATE BUT PUTIN. DOESN'T WANT. SO THIS IS THE PROBLEM. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO RESPOND, BE TOUGH, BE STRONG, NOT ONLY. WE, WE COUNT ON SANCTIONS, BY. THE WAY, LINDSEY'S BILL WAS VERY. IMPORTANT AND I HOPE THAT. SENATORS AND CONGRESS --. >> Sean: NOW IT'S NAMED AFTER. LINDSEY GRAHAM. LINDSEY, WENT TO TURKEY. HE WENT TO NATO, AND THEN HE. TOOK THAT LONG JOURNEY TO SEE.

YOU, FLIES INTO POLAND, WHAT, A. 10 OR 12-HOUR TRAIN RIDE, AND IT. WAS WHEN HE GOT BACK THAT HE. PASSED AWAY. YOU WERE THE LAST WORLD LEADER. THAT HE SAW. HE HAD BEEN THERE HOW MANY. TIMES? >> 10 TIMES DURING THE WAR. MANY TIMES. HE KNEW A LOT OR EVERYTHING. ABOUT UKRAINE. THE BATTLEFIELD. HE KNEW THE CITIES, EVEN SMALL.

VILLAGES. OUR MEETING DURING THE NATO. SUMMIT, WE SPOKE, WE NEED VERY. MUCH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPPORT, THE LICENSES. >> Sean: HOW DID THE MEETING. WITH THE PRESIDENT GO TODAY? >> THIS IS ABOUT THE LICENSES, AND WE BEGAN IT -- TO GIVE. UKRAINIAN LICENSES FOR THE. PRODUCTION OF PATRIOT, BECAUSE. WE NEED -- WE NEED MORE AND. QUICKER, AND TODAY WE HAD VERY. GOOD MEETING WITH PRESIDENT. TRUMP. HE ACCEPTED THAT HE'LL GIVE US.

LICENSES, AND THEN I HAD A. MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF. PRODUCTION, VERY STRONG MILITARY. OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. >> Sean: THERE IS A LONG PERIOD. OF TIME WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF. PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON YOU. AND YOUR COUNTRY TO GIVE UP LAND. IN A DEAL. AND YOU WERE STEADFAST, NO WAY. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THAT ISSUE. TODAY? I MEAN -- IS CRIMEA BACK ON THE.

TABLE? >> NOT, OR NOT YET. WE'LL SEE, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S OUR HISTORY, IT'S ABOUT OUR. HOUSES. IT'S MOST IMPORTANT NOT TO LOSE. PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY WE ALWAYS SAY WE'RE. READY TO SUPPORT THE IDEA OF OUR. ALLIES, JUST TO HAVE A. CEASE-FIRE, AND THEN MOVE TO. DIPLOMACY. CEASE-FIRE NOT TO LOSE PEOPLE.

THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. BUT PUTIN, WHAT WE SEE, HE GIVES. ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE MESSAGES. HE WANTS TO MAKE BIG. MOBILIZATION. 500,000, NEW 500,000 SOLDIERS, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF. AUTUMN. THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH. HIM. I THINK THAT'S REALLY -- CRAZY. THEY LOSE 30,000 SOLDIERS PER. MONTH. >> Sean: WHEN IS THE LAST TIME. YOU SPOKE WITH PUTIN EITHER.

DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY? >> DIRECTLY, WE'VE SPOKEN, I. THINK, 2019. WE HAD A MEETING, AND THEN IN. 2020 WE HAD SOME PHONE CALLS. THAT'S ALL. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY TO. HAVE TALKS WITH HIM AFTER. >> Sean: I'M WORRIED ABOUT. EUROPE. EUROPE TO ME HAS IN MANY WAYS. ABANDONED THEIR NATIONAL. SECURITY INTERESTS. THEY HAVE DONE IT WITH NATO. WE SAW THAT. THEY WOULDN'T HELP AMERICA. BATTLING, HAVE THE MORAL CLARITY.

TO BATTLE THE NUMBER ONE STATE. SPONSOR OF TERROR. I THINK THEY HAVE ALLOWED. THEMSELVES TO ADOPT RADICAL. SOCIALIST POLICIES, CLIMATE, ALARMISM POLICIES. NEGLECTING NATIONAL DEFENSE, AND. THEN UNFETTERED ILLEGAL. IMMIGRATION WITH NO. ASSIMILATION. I THINK EUROPE AS A CONTINENT IS. IN MASSIVE DECLINE. AM I WRONG? >> YOU KNOW, IT'S A DIFFERENT. EUROPE, ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT. TO BE HONEST.

FOR EXAMPLE, I COULD NEVER. UNDERSTAND WHY UKRAINE IS NOT. INVOLVED, IS NOT INVITED TO. NATO. WE HAVE A ONE MILLION ARMY. WE WANT TO BE STRONG, STAY. STRONG WITH AMERICANS AND. EUROPEANS. WE'RE READY TO SUPPORT, WE WANT. VERY MUCH TO BE IN NATO. FOR US, IT'S ALSO SECURITY. GUARANTEES. THIS IS IMPORTANT. SO, WHAT CAN I SAY? NOW EUROPE HELPS UKRAINE, AND WE. HAVE -- AS YOU KNOW, SOME BIG --.

OF EUROPE THEY GIVE MONEY TO. AMERICANS AND AMERICANS CAN GIVE. US -- CAN SELL THEM WEAPONS. WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE. ON THE BATTLEFIELD. >> Sean: HE INVADED YOUR COUNTRY. UNPROVOKED. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> Sean: TO NOT FIGHT BACK TO ME. IS SURRENDER. NOT AN OPTION FOR YOU. YOU WERE A COMEDIAN. YOU NOW ARE A WAR TIME. PRESIDENT. AND HAVE BEEN ON A WAR FOOTING.

FOR FIVE YEARS. NOT EASY. >> NOT EASY BUT LINDSEY WAS. VERY, HOW TO SAY, SERIOUS. POLITICIAN, BUT HE HAD A GREAT. SENSE OF HUMOR. SOMETIMES I WANTED TO SMILE. BECAUSE I'M A LIVE PERSON, SO. WITHOUT IT, YOU CAN'T BE -- YOU. CAN FEEL PEOPLE, YOUR NATION, AND IT'S -- IT'S ALL SENSITIVE.

THINGS. THAT'S WHY WE LAUGHED WITH. LINDSEY. SERIOUS AND NOT ONLY. >> Sean:
