"For what reason did the person leave the place, what happened as a result? Every situation is different, you can't generalize all of them. I will give you an example," said the president at a meeting with students in Chernivtsi.
He said that in some cases, a situation arises that a person wanted to transfer from one brigade to another, not because it is dangerous, but because he did not find a normal relationship with the commander.
"And left the place of service. It happens, and I don't see a serious crime here... This is one story," he said.
However, according to him, there are other types of situations when the arbitrary change of the position of a serviceman, or several at once, led to serious consequences.
"The second story. There were people, I won't say where, because it will be clear what happened. Imagine that people talked among themselves, and some group left its place. And because they left, and the front line is long and the distance between one company and another may not be small, because they left, they surrounded a large number of people and killed them all. Due to the fact that one person was able to put pressure on his environment and intimidate them, they left. The question is not that they left, but that many people died because of this person," the president said.
Therefore, Zelenskyi believes that "in general, everyone cannot be amnestied."
