President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he is trying to do his job in a way that will allow him, after the war and the end of his presidency, to continue living in Ukraine and walk its streets without facing hatred from people.

Details: Asked by Tucker how he copes with stress after years of full-scale war, Zelenskyy admitted he is not sure that he does.
He said he is trying to do his job in a way that would allow him to continue living in his own country after the war.
Quote: "It's not that people will respect you. It's about the way that you can continue after the war and after this presidential job, you will continue living [in] your country, go through the streets, and nobody will want to kill you, and hate you. And just because you've been like a piece of sh*t, not a leader, and not a man. I mean, this is what you do. The way how you live and the way how you try to live."
