We understand that Putin is seldom presented with completely accurate information. However, even the materials he receives allow for certain conclusions to be drawn,” Zelensky noted.
The president’s remarks come as the political landscape in Russia faces scrutiny, particularly in light of the approaching elections, which may serve as a barometer for public sentiment towards the Kremlin.
