Received a joke in response: A student surprised Zelenskyy with a question about presidents

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spoke with the winners of the All-Ukrainian Mathematics Olympiad. During the meeting, the students had the opportunity to ask the leader various questions, so one of the young men was curious to know whether analytical thinking, in the opinion of the Ukrainian guarantor, is an important characteristic for politicians.

This question somewhat surprised Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but he responded to the teen with humor. The corresponding video appeared on the social network TikTok.

During the event, the Olympiad winner asked the President of Ukraine: "Do you think logical thinking and analytical abilities could become the main criteria for future leaders of the state?" In response, the Ukrainian leader said: "Do you think they don’t have such abilities now?"

These words from Volodymyr Zelenskyy elicited positive emotions in those present at the meeting. After a pause, a few seconds later, the president noted that these characteristics are among the key traits for a good head of state.

"Criticism is perceived and accepted. These are essential things, I am sure of that. Every day, when you have challenges, when the state has challenges, in every institution, and therefore, with every person, when there are such challenges, logic must work. These are very important criteria," added the Ukrainian leader.
