Haines then commented on the leadership of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying, “I didn’t know his background, and I was reading all that. Because I though, what a ferocious leader, someone who — it would have been brave if he stayed there, but his family, the fact he’s saying, ‘No, my family is staying too,’ was even a layer of, ‘We’re going to fight this fight,'” she added.
