Zelenskyy Tours Risky Places To Support Ukrainian Soldiers

It has been nearly ten months since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, and there is no sign of it ending any time soon. So to support Ukrainian soldiers and Ukrainians generally, Zelenskyy has made several risky visits, including a visit to the frontlines of the Donbas region in June.

He also celebrated the withdrawal from Kherson after the Russian troops left the city in November. However, in an interview with the magazine, Zelenskyy said that his security authorities were against him visiting Kherson due to the deteriorating state that the Russians left it in, as well as the possibility that they left behind agents and saboteurs who might be able to harm him.

However, his action was simple, and he explained: “It’s about the people.” Zelenskyy, on the other hand, is believed to have inspired Ukrainians to join the fight against Russia because of his willingness to stay.
