Butusov stated he would sue Zelenskyi for libel

Ukrainian journalist Yurii Butusov has said he will sue Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi for statements he considers untrue.

Censor.NET reports citing Radio Svoboda.

"I'm going to defend my interests in court because the president actually admitted his lie against me and lied some new things. That is, he has not had a year of lies, he wants more," Butusov said.

On November 26, during a press marathon, the editor-in-chief of Censor.NET asked President Zelenskyi a number of questions. In response, Volodymyr Zelenskyi stated that Butusov worked for oligarch Igor Kolomoiskyi and was offended because he did not get a position in the Ministry of Defense.
