Everyone is at risk
Regarding the theory that this could be an attempt on the life of Volodymyr Zelensky, Oleksandr Antonyuk recalled the words of the head of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov that Vladimir Putin asked the question of the liquidation of the President of Ukraine at the beginning of a full-scale war.
