Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said it is right that Ukrainians are able to hold peaceful protests and express their views even during the war, adding that he has not yet reached the conclusion on the issue they have raised.

Quote: "As for the people who came out [to protest – ed.] – we are fighting for freedom and democracy, so I think we are doing everything right. And people are doing what they want to do. They wanted to come out, and that's the right thing to do. And if, even during the war, with all its difficulties and restrictions, people can express their will, then I consider that the most important thing."
