The famous Russian comedian spoke about his relationship with Zelensky

Russian actor, comedian, producer and TV presenter Mikhail Galustyan has stopped communicating with his former Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky. He stated this in an interview with journalist Laura Jugelia, which is available on YouTube.

According to Galustyan, together with Zelensky, he took part in various projects — he starred in films and television programs.

"We talked, we maintained a relationship, but we were not friends. Since 2014, we have stopped communicating. That's it, a person has a different life, I have a different life," Galustyan concluded.

As EADaily reported, Galustyan was previously met with a barrage of criticism in Tajikistan. Local residents, journalists, bloggers and activists made negative comments on the invitation to the country of the artist, who "for years made Tajiks a laughing stock."

Galustyan later stated that he sincerely regretted if his previous roles had hurt someone, and apologized to the entire Tajik people. According to the actor, he visited Dushanbe for the first time and was impressed by the city and the hospitality of the residents. The artist thanked them for the warm welcome and noted that the trip helped him to become more familiar with the history and culture of the country.
