And here's a video snippet from Zelenskiy's press event today:
Zelenskiy: 'No Blackmail' In Trump Call
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he didn’t know military aid from the United States had been held up before a July 25 phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump. In that call, Trump asked for Zelenskiy's cooperation on investigations related to former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who is running for president, and his son, Hunter, who had business dealings in the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma. The call is at the center of an impeachment inquiry led by Congressional Democrats. During an October 10 news conference in Kyiv, Zelenskiy declared “there was no blackmail” in his call with Trump.

A longer break at the Zelenskiy media event at Kyiv hip eatery. But as Meduza and other point out this could just be the halfway point of a 10-hour session with journalists. Three hundred have been accredited for the event.
Zelenskiy explained why he refused to meet Giuliani in summer. "It is not at the president's level to meet a lawyer."
Regarding Burisma case, Zelenskiy says he does not know the details, so therefore can't say whether Ukraine's prosecutor general should close the case or not. Does not know if Bidens did not break any laws. "Can't speak to that."
