Details: The president's remarks complemented the official response from Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which made no objection to the US's special operation in Venezuela and reiterated the illegitimacy of the Venezuelan regime.
Quote from Zelenskyy: "Well, what can I say. If dictators can be dealt with in this way, then the United States of America knows what it should do next."
Details: Zelenskyy refrained from directly mentioning Russia or its illegitimate leader Vladimir Putin, but the context of his remark made it clear that he was referring to him.
Background:
