Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the message that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) planned to infiltrate Russian territory. Wherever I need I come officially “and I don’t enter anywhere”, he said during a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
When I want to go somewhere, I officially come and I’m not going anywhere
said Zelenskyy.
Responding to another question, the Ukrainian leader stressed that Ukraine was not attacking the territory of Russia, but liberating “its legitimate lands”.
Such questions to Zelenskyy arose after the publication of the Washington Post. The publication, citing Pentagon documents that “leaked” on the Web, reported that the President of Ukraine offered to transfer the Ukrainian armed forces to the territory of the Russian Federation in order to occupy a number of Russian towns.
