Zelensky again wishes Putin dead: "May God hear us and do something"
Speaking to students in Copenhagen, Ukraine's president lamented that Putin is "still alive," adding: "God willing, he hears us and does something."
During a meeting with students at the University of Copenhagen on November 10, 2026, Volodymyr Zelensky lamented that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had not been "eliminated by anyone" and is "still alive." A video of the meeting was published on the President's Telegram channel.
The meeting was held with the participation of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The moderator was TV 2 correspondent Rasmus Tantholdt. The remarks about Putin came in response to a student's question about what lessons Ukraine has learned from past wartime winters and how it is preparing for the new one.
"I mean that people cannot prepare, because in modern life they do not need to prepare for wars. But sometimes we have such ambitious aggressors, and that is exactly why we cannot prepare. But now Ukraine has something to teach, and Europe must learn this as quickly as possible. Because no one has stopped Putin, no one has eliminated him, and he is still alive. God grant that he hears us, listens to us, and perhaps does something," Zelensky said.
He also assured the audience that "if the aggressor is not stopped, he will undoubtedly go further."
It should be recalled that this is not Zelensky's first such statement. In his Christmas address on December 24, 2025, he had already wished death on the Russian president: "Today we all have one dream. And we make one wish for everyone. 'May he croak.'"
