Lachlan Murdoch, chairman of News Corp & executive chairman and CEO of Fox Corporation joined the cozy award ceremony in the presidential office to talk to Zelensky.
The Ukrainian leader called his guests to brace for the longer war. "Strangely, people treat this [war] like a movie and expect no long pauses, that a picture will constantly change, and there will be surprises. But it's not a movie for us and our warriors. It's life. Everything will end not that soon as we would want it to end. But, we have no right to step back and we won't do that", the President said.
