President Zelensky appears on cover of American magazine The Atlantic

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appeared on the cover of the June issue of the American magazine, The Atlantic. The cover was illustrated by the lead vocalist of the rock band U2, Paul David Hewson (Bono).

The relevant statement was made by The Atlantic on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The cover has been made in yellow and blue colors, saying: ‘The choice is between freedom and fear’.

The Atlantic also published an interview with President Zelensky, which had been conducted by their team in Kyiv. The June issue also included the article named ‘The Counteroffensive’.

“The future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukrainian military can break a stalemate with Russia and drive the country backwards – perhaps even out of Crimea for good,” the article reads.

The article also cited President Zelensky, saying that this is a war “over a fundamental definition of civilization” and a battle “to show everybody else, including Russia, to respect sovereignty, human rights, territorial integrity; and to respect people, not to kill people, not to rape women, not to kill animals.”
