Zelensky declares defiance: "I have time, Putin does not
- But the difference between me and Putin is that I am right. I protect my people and my family, and we fight for survival. I don’t have any disease related to power. I love life and freedom. That’s why I fight for freedom. And I have time, he doesn’t. - said Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the weekly "The Economist." The President of Ukraine stated that Putin "will certainly die soon." Zelensky also revealed what he would like to do after his political career ends.
The Ukrainian president admitted that he has been under significant pressure for the past three years. He also noted that many citizens of his country experience a similar situation.
- I will not let Putin win. This is what I live by. And certainly, like our armies, there are consequences of a long war. But the difference between me and Putin is that I am right. I protect my people and my family, and we fight for survival. I don’t have any disease related to power. I love life and freedom - said Zelensky.
- I have time, he doesn’t. He will definitely die soon. But I still want to live, to walk. I’m interested in traveling around the world after politics. And he isn’t - added the Ukrainian president.
Zelensky faces elections. "This is not the main topic"
When asked when presidential elections will be held in Ukraine, Zelensky replied that for now, there are other priorities.
- I honestly think that we will all think about the elections when we can all think about them. It’s definitely not the focus of today. Not because someone is for or against it. It’s not about that. It’s like you don’t have dinner in the morning - he explained.
