President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not connect the possible end of Vladimir Putin’s regime in Russia with the end of the war in Ukraine. Source: Zelenskyy in an interview with the German newspaper Bild, the video was posted on Zelenskyy’s Telegram Zelenskyy’s quote when asked if the war will end only when the Putin regime collapses: “I do not associate this with the end of the war. The Putin regime will definitely end when the people of Russia decide. We do not influence that. But who will come instead? The question is not about the person. The question is in the philosophy of their regime, in the philosophy of maintaining their power, in the philosophy of their attitude towards Ukraine. If they don’t change it, if they don’t change their doctrine, it doesn’t matter who will be there – a young person, an old person, etc.” Details: The journalist also told Zelensky that last week he asked Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, if she would be happy if Putin died. She replied that no one should rejoice over someone’s death. The journalist asked if Zelenskyy agrees with this view. Quote from Zelenskyy: “I disagree with that. I have a different opinion about the military and political leadership and every Russian military man who came to our land. I’m sorry, I don’t wish them anything good and I don’t wish them a long life. Once they come here, I wish them to leave our land, and if they don’t, I wish them all a happy ending… No need to look for diplomacy here. I believe that to all people, starting with President Putin and ending with his entourage, including all the military personnel who came to our land, I do not wish any of them to live for sure.” More details: Asked if he has a favorite joke about Putin, Zelenskyy laughed and said he does, but isn’t ready to say it. “You’ll laugh, but in Russia, they’ll cry. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate. That’s called black humor,” the President said. Journalists are fighting on their own front lines. Support Ukrainska Pravda or become our patron!
