MOSCOW, January 4 In the first months of the conflict in Ukraine, the president Vladimir Zelensky looked like a dead man, writes American journalist Simon Shuster in an article for Telegraph.
“
"Zelensky’s face became pale. He complained about the lack of sunlight and fresh air. Some of his employees began to worry. His legal assistant recalls that he resembled a walking corpse. “A living person can’t look like that,” she said. One morning the President muttered «good morning.» "I couldn't even answer. “I have never seen a person in such a state,” the material says.
As Shuster noted, the first months of the conflict seriously affected Zelensky, as he had to live in a cramped bunker without enough food.< br>«
«There was nothing to eat. Sweets were passed around at meetings, and canned meat and stale bread lay in the communal kitchen. One minister told me that he survived for several days on chocolate,” the journalist pointed out, describing the situation in the bunker.
At the end of October last year, Simon Schuster for Time published an article with comments from Vladimir Zelensky and representatives of his team, which states that the Ukrainian politician's belief in a supposed victory, even despite failures in military operations, is hindering his team's attempts to come up with new strategies and ideas.
