Background Lex Fridman recently conducted a high-profile interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv. Following the interview, Fridman expressed interest in returning to Kyiv for future conversations, and Zelensky suggested their meeting was "the first of many." Currently, Fridman has announced plans to visit Moscow to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Resolution Criteria This market will resolve YES if Lex Fridman conducts and releases another interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky before July 2, 2025. The interview must:
Be conducted by Lex Fridman personally
Feature Zelensky as the primary interviewee
Be released on Fridman's podcast or YouTube channel
Be a new, distinct interview (not clips or segments from the previous interview)
The market will resolve NO if no such interview is released by July 2, 2025.
Considerations
The ongoing war in Ukraine and potential security concerns could impact the feasibility of conducting another in-person interview
Fridman's planned interview with Putin could affect the timing or likelihood of another Zelensky interview
While both parties have expressed interest in future conversations, no specific plans have been announced for a follow-up interview
