Israeli ex-Prime Minister Naftali Bennett
on negotiations with Putin last March and the brave Zelensky
Translation:
Putin has announced denazification, which also means removing Zelensky. And I understood that Zelensky was under threat, he was in a secret bunker.
I asked Putin, "Are you going to kill Zelensky?"
He replied, "I'm not going to kill Zelensky."
Then I asked: "I should understand that you are giving me your word that you will not kill Zelensky."
He said again: "We are not going to kill Zelensky."
After the meeting, in the car on the way from the Kremlin to the airport, I contacted Zelensky on WhatsApp or Telergram
- Weren't you afraid the Russians would see?
No, there was no problem at all. I called Zelensky and said: "I came from a meeting, he's not going to kill you."
He said, "Are you sure?"
I said, "100%, he's not going to do it.
Two hours later, Zelensky went into his office and filmed himself on his phone, saying, "I'm not afraid!
