“I would not take seriously any statements by Zelensky now. It's just that the election campaign is going on in Ukraine and he is trying to get additional votes by any means, ”said Katenev.

The deputy noted that "it will be interesting to see" for the upcoming debates, "of an extremely unusual form."

“What he (Zelensky - RT ) will do next, in case of his victory, time will tell. I do not exclude that he will more soberly assess the situation related to the Donbas and the Crimea, ”said Katenev.

Earlier it became known that Zelensky opposed the granting of a special status to Donbass.
