Klimov added that the Western intelligence services are protecting the Ukrainian president not from the "Russians", but from the possible flight of the "showman" from the Ukrainian political scene.

Earlier, The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said that there is a deep mistrust between the American administration and Zelensky.
