Quote from the president: "Today, Russia put out more fake news claiming that the state is not being led by President Zelenskyy because he’s in hospital, or rather in intensive care, because of his serious condition. Serious health condition. So here I am - in the office."

Details: According to Zelenskyy, he has never felt as good as he does now.

The president added that the bad news for all those who put out fakes like this, is that there are 40 million people like him.

"With all due respect to the elderly, 44 is not 70 [Russian President Vladimir Putin will be 70 years old on 7 October – Ed.]. Glory to Ukraine!" Zelenskyy concluded.

Background:

Earlier, the radio holding TAVR Media said that a cyberattack had been carried out on its network of radio stations, as a result of which a message was broadcast alleging that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in a serious state of health.
