Zelenskyy revealed the details of the assassination attempt on him
According to the head of state, the tragic events took place at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
As is known, it was then that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin proposed a “peace” agreement, which was de facto a betrayal of Ukrainian national interests.
Moreover, Volodymyr Zelensky added that it was at this time that "messengers were sent to him", in particular from the deputy corps, who came and said that "tomorrow we will be occupied, we need to run."
Leaders of various countries called the President of Ukraine and asked him to leave.
There was pressure from different sides. There were people who wanted to kill [me], there were shots. Some people died here, inside our office. There were other people of ours who were defending… There was a landing.
