Western media reports, that the Ukrainian authorities have allegedly drawn up a plan in the event of the death of the head of state Volodymyr Zelensky are incorrect. This statement was made on Tuesday, August 1 by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksiy Danilov.
As the politician emphasized, “there is a president of the country, a supreme commander who fulfills his duties.” At the same time, Danilov noted, that “it is difficult for me to say why the respected publication Politico did this.”
The NSDC secretary also said that the presence of such rumors raises questions for government officials who communicate with foreign media and provide them with similar information.< /p>
