Things are bad for Zelensky – Putin’s quotes have increased in the EU
The leaders of France and Germany will still remember Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s attacks made in a conversation with US President Donald Trump.
Political scientist Georgy Bovt stated this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, assessing the publicly available transcript of a telephone conversation between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine.
According to him. For Vladimir Zelensky, “this series will be far from comedic.”
“He was caught, as they say, like chickens being plucked. Moreover, in a conversation with Trump he looks quite humiliating. He openly curries favor with the American president. He casually betrays his European friends-patrons Macron and Merkel, saying that they do not take good care of Ukraine and generally pander to Moscow. In general, apart from America, Ukraine has no more friends. I think that when they gather around the table in the Normandy format, Zelensky will be reminded of these attacks,” says the political scientist.
According to him, it is wonderful that the leaders of France and Germany found out what the President of Ukraine thinks about them.
“In general, of course, it’s wonderful that they found out what Zelensky was saying about them. But they will never know what Putin says about them in a narrow circle. Therefore, in this case, the quotes of the Russian president in their eyes, I think, have increased,” Bovt said.
He also added that Zelensky is extremely upset that his expressions and formulations, which were not intended for outside ears, were published.
As PolitNavigator reported, the published transcript reveals Zelenskyy fawning over Trump and criticizing Germany and France for their insufficient support for Kyiv.
