We will be open to cooperation with all government bodies and public organizations," he said at a meeting with Zelensky in Kherson on Saturday, where he was introduced by the president at a new position.

"Also, of course, we will work in the context of protecting the rights of the indigenous people of the Crimean Tatars," he said.
