During the assassination attempt on Zelensky, people from his office lost their lives, the president revealed in an interview with The Guardian.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there were attempts on his life. He mentioned that during one of these assassination attempts, people from the President's Office were killed.

He made this statement during an interview with the Guardian.

The head of state recounted events from the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion when Russia proposed a "peace" agreement that, according to him, required betrayal of Ukrainian national interests.

He noted that at that time, he was receiving "messengers," including from the parliamentary corps, who "came and said, 'Tomorrow we will be occupied, we need to run.'"

In addition, leaders from various countries called him and urged him to leave.

"There was pressure from various sides. There were people who wanted to [kill me], there were gunshots. Some people died here, inside our office," Zelensky recounted.
