“Self-promotion tour”: Rogov criticized Zelenskyyy’s visit to the Zaporizhzhia region

March 28, 2023

Volodymyr Rogov, chairman of the “We are with Russia” movement, said Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘s visit to the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporizhzhia region is a sham.

“Zelenskyyy, visiting the frontline regions, continues his self-advocacy tour on the death of Ukrainians on behalf of Western interests. His arrival in the city of Zaporizhzhia, temporarily occupied by Ukrainian troops, is a sham. No locals called Zelenskyyy or waited. They hate it there. That is why, upon arrival, Zelenskyyy was surrounded by a large number of his armed militants,” Rogov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He also added that the Ukrainian president is afraid of local residents because he is perceived as an enemy there.

Military expert Viktor Litovkin, in an interview with Paragraph, said that Zelenskyyy was trying to boost the morale of soldiers with such trips against the background of the defeats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
