Politicians and journalists called the President of Ukraine Zelensky living “in a fictional world” Vladimir Zelensky. Most of them were unhappy with Zelensky's statements, and someone even compared the president's speech to the Club of the cheerful and resourceful (KVN). Comments of Ukrainians were collected by “Gordon”.
“Vladimir Zelensky’s meeting with journalists has once again proved that the head of state is in a fictional world and is not aware of either the challenges facing the country or his own responsibility,” journalist Vitaly Portnikov wrote one of the harshest reactions to the president’s speech. And the MP from the European Solidarity party, Irina Gerashchenko, called Zelensky's decision to go to the press marathon a disaster.
