Details: Zelenskyy was asked: "Are you afraid that Ukrainians are becoming divided as a society, not only due to two years of war, but also in their support for you as President?"

Quote: "Concerning support for me as President. I have said that it is an honour for me to be the President. It’s up to the people to decide; they can see how I work, how I serve Ukraine. If they don’t like it – well, that's understandable, it’s Ukrainians’ choice, it’s okay."

Details: At the same time, Zelenskyy stressed that everything possible must be done "so that unity does not falter in Ukraine".

"Our unity is our weapon of domestic production, our know-how which helped us and saved the country at the beginning of the war. This word is probably getting too banal for some people. But we have to stick to some banalities as long as another banal but important word - "life" - depends on them," Zelenskyy said.
