“I feel and feel that this is a big trouble, which is forever. At all. It will forever leave a scar between Ukraine and Russia. Whether this scar resolves, I’m not at all sure. But somehow they lived. Somehow there was something. And there were many. And they were part of one country - the Soviet Union. Both relatives and broken families. And relatives with whom you do not communicate, who are there. And vice versa. In general, this is all - a big, huge such hole, ”Zelensky said in an interview with Israeli Channel 9.

Zelensky also stressed that he maintains a direct dialogue with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to solve the problem of Ukrainians who are imprisoned in Russia.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian and Ukrainian leaders Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky did not have any contacts in Israel.
