Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the case of former Ukrenergo head Volodymyr Kudrytskyi is a matter for the judicial system, and he has no personal attitude towards him, adding that Kudrytskyi was supposed to ensure the security of Ukraine's energy sector, but he failed to do so. Zelenskyy made this statement during a meeting with journalists, as reported by UNN.
It's difficult to comment on things someone wrote. Especially since these things are very far from the real situation. This is not a question for me, it's a question for Ukraine's judicial system. I have no personal attitude towards this person. He was the head of a large system, and this system was supposed to ensure the security of our energy sector. He should have done it. And he didn't do it
