The security service itself. They had to do it. I don't want it. And sometimes I don't need it. And I'm asking them. It was, for example, before the war, I think, yes, it was before the war. I just, I had a meeting, yes, with President Trump. It was in 2019. I just wanted to go for a run early in the morning because I really wanted to exercise.

I'm not, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to disturb anybody and cause anyone problems with me. And that's why if he will invite me, I will come.

All right, let's get back to a serious question. Sometimes they say it in America, this question of who is really in power. So let me ask, is someone controlling you? For example, oligarchs, American politicians, Yermak. Yermak. I wanted to bring this up because I have been here in Ukraine twice since the invasion of 2022.

And one of the things I've learned, well, is that actually nobody controls you. And this is one of your strengths as a president, as a person, that oligarchs And other rich and powerful people like that cannot control you. Can you explain why that is, how you see it?

I think, and it is indeed true, that I'm generally difficult to deal with. I am an ambitious person. I can't submit to anyone. I can live by rules, by laws. I believe that this is the only thing that can control any person today. These are the rules and laws of the society or state where you live. And I believe that this is the most important thing. There's no person who could control me.
