"I've known the president for seven years. I don't think he's sided with Syrskyi yet. I spoke with him today and told him that I'm acting according to my conscience. I've been through a lot with him. Over the past seven years, as a member of his team, he has, in principle, never let me down. And I haven't let him down either," he said.

Fedorov said that Zelenskyy spoke "normally" about him at the faction meeting yesterday.
