Newsweek: Ukraine Has ‘Every Right’ To Kill Putin Given the Opportunity: Zelensky 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his country has every right to kill his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin if the opportunity arises, if doing so would protect Ukraine and his people. 

Zelensky made the remarks in a wide-ranging interview with The Sun in Kyiv, telling the tabloid newspaper that he has lost track of the number of times Moscow has attempted to assassinate him since Putin launched a full-scale invasion of his country in February 2022. 

“That’s war, and Ukraine has all the rights to defend our land,” the Ukrainian leader said when asked if Kyiv would take a chance to assassinate Putin if such an opportunity arose.
