Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has avoided directly answering a question following his press conference on May 20 when asked if he could call Russian President Vladimir Putin a killer.
"Yes or no?" a female journalist of the Pryamiy TV Channel asked Zelensky.
The president did not give a direct answer:
"A hundred people may be killed in Donbas tomorrow because of your question. What would you do?... Goodbye. "
Earlier, speaking about Putin during the press conference, Zelensky said that he was "very cautious about giving assessments that could lead to escalation."
