Ukraine’s president fined for violating lockdown rules

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has been fined for violating the country’s lockdown rules.

Zelensky said this happened after he visited a cafe in the central city of Khmelnytsky on 3 June.

His office later released a photo of Zelensky sipping coffee in the cafe – although a ban on catering services indoors was still in effect at the time. The president was also without a face mask.

“They did the right thing,” the president said, referring to the fine – but without revealing how much he had to pay.

Zelensky also said he had even considered at one point getting deliberately infected with COVID-19 to show Ukrainians that the danger was real.
