“I know that many people thought that I might exaggerate, but I knew, and we had data to confirm that he was about to cross the border. There was no doubt. And Zelensky did not want to hear it, as it was, as well as Many people, ”he said.

The US authorities since the end of last year have repeatedly warned about the risk of the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine, but in Kyiv they have doubtfully related to this information.
