“Zelensky began to take the right steps, taking an example from a world leader - Russian President Vladimir Putin. That's right, we need to take an example only from positive leaders. And then, if Zelensky wants to take a ride on our Russian KAMAZ, then this also causes respect, ”said Gempel to RIA Novosti.
According to him, Zelensky can travel as a guest along the Crimean bridge.
Earlier, Zelensky signed a bet with the mayor of Dnepr Boris Filatov regarding the commissioning of a bridge across the Dnieper River.
At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian leader’s administration, Andrei Bogdan, added that the president “will drive over the bridge in KAMAZ himself”.
On May 15, 2018, Vladimir Putin, taking part in the opening of the Crimean Bridge, overcame a 16-km structure behind the wheel of a truck in 16 minutes.
