The press secretary answered “yes” to UP’s question whether this means that he will be at home on November 20.
Earlier, UP sources reported that Umerov flew to Florida (USA) on November 16. Then the opinions of the interlocutors of the publication were divided.
Some believed that Umyerov came to the family that lives in this state. Others claimed that he should meet with representatives of the Administration of US President Donald Trump. However, the question remained open as to whether the former Minister of Defense and current Secretary of the National Security Council plans to return home and when exactly.
“Everyone here cheers up and convinces each other that he will return. But I would not bet on this option. I very much doubt that Rustem will be returned,” joked one of the members of Zelenskyi’s entourage in a conversation with UP.
