Zelensky tells how he switches from war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to use a few hours at night or early in the morning to read literature to switch from the war unleashed by Russia and maintain sanity.
He said this in an interview with representatives of the Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian media, Ukrinform reports.
"Of course, I did not have a vacation, because it simply cannot be, I cannot afford it - there is no vacation in war. Sometimes I need some hours in order not to lose my sanity, to switch myself off for a little bit - to read something, to watch something. I do this, frankly, sometimes at night or very early in the morning. Every day I wake up very early and read literature. Preferably literature, not the Internet, sometimes, we are all modern people, you start reading a book and smoothly switch to your cell phone and then go online to read what else is in the world," Zelensky said.
The president emphasized that the price of war is measured in losses and it is difficult for him to live with the loss of life.
"It is difficult to live these days, it is difficult to live these losses. It is not difficult to motivate ourselves, because our motivation is family, land, Ukraine, our rights, our freedom, and this is the most important motivation. I am sure that most Ukrainians hold this motivation," the head of state said.
At the same time, he emphasized: "It is very important to know what we are fighting for, to be adequate, to communicate with people, journalists, not to sit in a bunker, but to understand that the world is wider than your bunker, we understand who I am talking about."
As reported, Zelensky said he believes in the success of the upcoming counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in the fact that Crimea will return to Ukraine's control.
