Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said it would be difficult for the world to envision the United States as a symbol of democracy, after riots at the Capitol building in early January.
In an interview with Axios, the President of Ukraine added, “I think it was a heavy blow to American democracy. We are used to thinking that there are ideal democratic institutions in the United States. We are accustomed to it as a country where power is transferred peacefully, without wars, from one president to another.” “.
Zelensky noted that, Ukraine “has witnessed two revolutions” and therefore understands the possibility of such things happening. However, no one expects this to happen in the United States, indicating that “not everything is perfect there.”
Zelensky added, “I was very concerned about that. I do not want a coup against power in the United States, no shooting, no casualties. Because after that, I also think it will be difficult for other countries to accept the United States as a symbol of democracy in the world.” “.
