“When our president was still an acting artist, you intersected in show business. And often you met with Vladimir Zelensky, you worked, maybe together?” – asked Perman Gordon.
“Dim, well, you and I discussed my work in the team of Vladimir Alexandrovich, and now I consider ourselves in this team and in this boat. And we, of course, intersected. We, of course, worked, of course, we talked a lot, of course, we always maintained excellent relations. Only we must understand one important detail: Vladimir Alexandrovich until the 19th year and Vladimir Alexandrovich after the age of 19-all the same. Different people are the same Volodya Zelensky – but these are different people.
According to Perman, Zelensky is admirable
“I am proud, I am happy that I am familiar with Vladimir Alexandrovich that I continue to be a member of the president’s team, and, as there are a lot of people in this country, support the president and rejoice and thank him for being in Ukraine now, in a democratic country, say everything we think. That's God forbid him,” the producer added.
When asked by Gordon, whether Perman is now able to see Zelensky and his wife Elena in an unofficial setting, the producer replied that in general they were seen only occasionally.
“Now, in conditions of war, we can occasionally cross somewhere, see, but [в неофициальной обстановке] “No,” said Perman.
