World leaders do not take Russian illegitimate President Vladimir Putin seriously, since he compromised both himself and the Russian Federation with the war against Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by ex-President Andrzej Duda in an interview with the founder of the GORDON publication Dmitry Gordon.
“I think that for no truly great leader, especially for the presidents of the United States, Putin today is not a truly serious partner. Not only because he is the culprit of the war, which is associated with war crimes, and, in fact, bears joint responsibility for this along with his soldiers and decision makers,” he said.
According to Duda, the Russian illegitimate president is not perceived as a partner because “great” Russia under his leadership cannot win the war with Ukraine.”
“Especially at its beginning in 2022, when it seemed that Russian tank columns would bombard the small, poorly equipped Ukrainian army. It turned out that the courage of the defenders of Ukraine surpassed Russian heavy equipment, the number of Russian soldiers, and the Russian organization (or rather, disorganization),” Duda emphasized.
The ex-president of Poland said that “this undoubtedly compromised Russia and Putin.”
“The Great Russian Empire cannot win a war with Ukraine. And it is very good that it cannot win a war with Ukraine. I hope that he will not win a war with anyone. And I hope that he will not start any new war. And this is what the free world really should be concerned about today: that Russia cannot start any new war. Today this should be our main concern immediately after ending this war, how to help Ukraine oust the Russians, end the war and return to normal life,” he concluded.
