‘Get to Work’, Not ‘Bark Online’: Vladimir Zelensky’s Father Responds to Son’s Critics

The father of Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky, Alexander Zelensky, has urged critics of his son to ‘get to work’ instead of ‘barking online’. He made the relevant post on his Instagram account.

The head of state’s father stated that he has achieved a lot by working honestly and ‘following his own intellect’, and that he has not criticized the authorities. He also emphasized that he does not wish to hear complaints from those who ‘aren’t even willing to get off their butt from the couch’.

‘You write, complain, call me names, insult Vova. But I was not secretly barking at the authorities; I relied only on myself. Fortunately, everything is fine on my end. And now, in my old age, I have no intention of discussing with those who cannot attempt to do something for themselves or their children, but can only attack an old man,’ wrote the politician's father.
