Juszczenko talks about Putin's approach. “Does not feel proper pressure”
– In current circumstances, the diplomatic road is not ready. Neither Putin nor his surroundings feel the right sanction pressure yet. They have not experienced serious financial restrictions and other international consequences, therefore they are not prepared for the peace process Juszczenko said in an interview with the Ukrinform agency.
The former president emphasized that before Ukraine and Europe there is still the need for “great consolidation, strong armed resistance and new, effective sanctions against Russia.”
– The time will come when Putin – or his successor – will be forced to seek diplomatic regulation and ask for forgiveness. However, he is not supposed to apologize to me, but those who brought death and suffering – added Juszczenko.
