According to Zelensky, "one of the main wars is diplomatic war." "And I'd like to thank you for defending Ukraine, our borders, every day, morning to evening, sometimes overnight (sorry for those calls). I'd like to thank each of you. I respect your work and I'm sure you are real professionals," the president said.

Zelensky told how Prystaiko helped him make tough decisions during hard talks over the phone. According to the president, he has been working with Prystaiko for four months, and is very pleased with his performance.
