Zelensky's chief of staff Kirill Budanov unexpectedly switched to the Russian language during a press conference in Abu Dhabi.
During a press conference that concluded the tripartite talks in Abu Dhabi, a journalist from one of the Western media outlets posed a question to Bodanov in English regarding the details of the negotiations.
Budanov asked the English journalist to translate the question, then switched to Russian and said: "I understand, I need time."
Kirill Budanov is included in the list of terrorists and extremists of the Russian Federation.
