“Putin received integration”
According to the President of Ukraine, thanks to the meeting in Alaska, the leader of Russia “escaped from political insulation”. “Putin should have failed in this war, but instead he was integrated and took pictures with President Trump,” said Sky News interlocutor.
– He was a participant in public dialogue and I think it opens the door to Putin to participate in other peaks and formats, because that's how it is, we see it. (…) I don't think he pays for what he is doing, “said Zelanski. He added that Putin “should pay, firstly, for starting the war, and secondly, for trying to find a way to get out of isolation.”
According to the Ukrainian politician, “it is very important not to give Putin space, otherwise he will not feel forced to end the war.” – He is fighting, and everyone is trying to stop him, arguing with him, asking him, and instead use force. He understands strength. This is his language – said Zelanski. In his opinion, the leader of Russia “does not know many languages, but the language of strength understands, like Russian, his native language.”
The President of Ukraine appealed to European countries and the US to “take some steps, for example, to impose sanctions”, but as he emphasized, “it must be done quickly and on a larger scale” than before.
