The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, made a joke in reference to a possible future US intervention in Russia, when asked by a journalist about the action in Venezuela, this Saturday (3), and the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro.
“Could you comment on the situation in Venezuela? How should we react?”, asked the Ukrainian reporter.
“Well, what can I say? If it is possible to deal with dictators like this, then the US knows what to do next”, he stated, drawing laughter from journalists, in a veiled reference to a possible intervention in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

However, since Russia invaded Ukraine, Zelensky continues to govern without calling new elections.
The comment was made at a press conference held after a national security meeting with advisers from other European countries. The video was published on by reporter Sam Pancher, from the website Metropolises.
The president of Venezuela, Nocolás Maduro, was arrested this Saturday morning, 3, by American special forces on charges of drug trafficking and taken to the USA. The country was bombed.
