In a conversation with journalists from the YouTube project TCN "Alone", Yuri admitted that he does not see himself in politics. The host is convinced that success in this field is only possible for those who genuinely strive to change the country, rather than seeking personal gain or popularity.
"I enjoy everything I am doing now. Politics, in my opinion, rarely brings positive results. To enter power, one must genuinely want it and understand the responsibility that comes with it. If your goal is merely to gain additional points or fame, that’s an entirely different task,” explained Gorbunov.
The star emphasized that he is dedicated to his production work and has no plans to change professions, as he derives genuine pleasure from his job.
On His Relationship with Volodymyr Zelensky
Yuri also shared memories of his collaboration with Volodymyr Zelensky in the past. Before the war began, they primarily had business ties, which have now almost ceased.
"Our relationship was not friendly, but it was kind and professional. We worked together on many projects. The last meeting with Volodymyr took place during the full-scale invasion — at a concert in the metro. We shook hands, hugged, and wished each other success. That was about a year and a half ago,” Gorbunov recounted.
The producer noted that he enjoys occasionally seeing the president at public events, but their interactions have significantly decreased due to various life circumstances.
