Bennett: Putin Vowed Not to Kill Zelenskyy (Video)

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin assured him that he wouldn’t kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“He gave me two great concessions,” Bennett recalled a meeting with Putin when he flew to Moscow in an effort to mediate shortly after Russia began its military operation.

“I knew Zelenskyy was under threat, in a bunker… I said to [Putin], ‘Do you intend to kill Zelenskyy?’ He said, ‘I won’t kill Zelenskyy,’” Bennett noted.

The former Prime Minister highlighted that he called the Ukrainian president immediately after the three-hour encounter with Putin and told him, “I’ve just come out of a meeting — [Putin] is not going to kill you.

“[Zelenskyy] asked me, ‘Are you sure?’ I said 100 percent. [Putin’s] not going to kill you.”

Bennett recalled: “Two hours later, Zelenskyy went to his office, and did a selfie in the office, [in which the Ukrainian president said,] ‘I’m not afraid.’”
