President defends deal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday defended his decision to meet a hostage-taker鈥檚 bizarre demand that he post a movie recommendation to end a 12-hour standoff.
Some people criticized Zelensky鈥檚 move. 鈥淭his is a mistake. We should not negotiate with terrorists,鈥 Kiev-based lawyer Igor Pashnev wrote on Facebook.
Zelensky described how he negotiated personally on Tuesday evening with a gunman who was holding 13 hostages on a bus in the western city of Lutsk.
鈥淲e have a result 鈥 everyone is alive. We are not fighting for (approval) ratings 鈥 we are fighting for life,鈥 Zelensky said in a statement of his decision.
