The Ukrainian leader’s interview with the former U.S. president underscored the continued draw of the Clinton brand.

NEW YORK — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Tuesday for world leaders to abandon neutrality, step up military and other support for his country, and stay united as it tries to repel a Russian invasion.

Zelenskyy didn’t name names, but — in a live video interview with former U.S. President Bill Clinton — he warned that “in this world you cannot remain on the sidelines.”

“You definitely have to choose sides,” Zelenskyy said. “You cannot vacillate between good and evil, light and dark.”

The Ukrainian leader was speaking at the revived Clinton Global Initiative. After being on hiatus for several years following controversies linked to former first lady Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, CGI is once again being held this year on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
