Lebedev was outraged by the proposal to remake the Motherland monument in Kiev 

“Of course, this is absolutely complete nonsense and, of course, any news that contains the word“ petition ”should be considered insignificant,” he said.

According to Lebedev, the petition has no force, they are submitted constantly and "there is no need to be distracted by such low-calorie events, because this is not an event."

In early November, it was also reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would consider a petition banning Russians from entering Ukraine.
