Ukraine will not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to control potential presidential elections in the country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made this statement in an interview with PAP, APA reports, citing RBC Ukraine.
Commenting on the annual press conference of the Kremlin leader, the head of state said that there are "many Putins."
"One talks to the Americans, another gives speeches, a third does something else," he clarified.
As Zelenskyy reminded, Putin claimed that it was supposedly important for him that Ukrainians from across the country, including temporarily occupied territories, take part in the elections. In doing so, Putin effectively acknowledged these areas as occupied.
According to the Ukrainian leader, Putin wants to control not only elections in Russia but now has set his sights on elections in Ukraine as well.
"We will not agree to be controlled by anyone," he emphasized.
