I will say this: if someone attacks someone, they must take into account that they will also suffer losses. And the one who does not take this into account is foolish. If it turns out that the Russians do what they have to do, which is to return home and Russian troops leave Ukraine, if it turns out that Ukrainian troops then attack the Russian troops that will leave Ukraine, then I will be the first to pick up the phone and call Vladimir Zelensky and say: do not beat them when they leave. I can promise this to Russian soldiers. But as long as Russia is attacking Ukraine in a war that it started, it must understand that those who come with the sword will die by the sword

- Duda said.

Instead, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy jokingly replied to Duda: "What if I'm busy? It happens, you are the president and I am the president - you call me, and I am busy.

Duda replied that he would keep calling until he got through.

Recall

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that there are several results of the operation in the Kursk region, including replenishment of the exchange fund and stopping the Russian operation to attack the Sumy region.
