Direct language Zelensky: “I think he gave a lot of Putin. And I believe that if it were a tripartite meeting (with the participation of Ukraine – ed.), We would have a certain result.”
Details: Zelensky answered the question whether Putin was trying to deceive Trump.
Zelensky said Putin “wanted to get out of political isolation” with the help of a summit on Alaska, and believes that “he (Putin – ed.) Had to pay more” for this meeting with the US President.
Direct language Zelensky: “He should have been defeated in this war and stop. But instead he got out of isolation. He got pictures with President Trump.
He received a public dialogue, and I think it opens Putin’s door to other summits and formats, because so it is, and we see it, we see it, and I do not think he paid something for it. ”
Details: Zelensky added that “it is very important not to give Putin such a space, because otherwise he will not feel the need to stop the war.”
Direct language Zelensky: “He is leading a war, and everyone is trying to stop it, arguing, asking it, but instead it is necessary to apply force.
He understands power. This is his language. This is the language he understands. ”
Details: Zelensky noted that Putin “does not know many languages, but he understands the language of power in the same way as Russian, his mother tongue.”
Because of this, the President added, “we are very much asking for European countries and the US to do and demonstrate it.”
Direct language Zelensky: “Yes, they take some steps, such as sanctions, but you need to do more and faster.”
