Quote: “I really believe that Putin’s isolation – through sanctions, diplomacy, etc. – it strengthens Ukraine more and weakens Putin,” he emphasised.

Following Scholz’s call in Europe and beyond, “it can happen for various reasons that after one conversation, there is a second, third, fifth conversation, because sometimes leaders want to take the lead themselves.”

“And I feel that this could become a wave of true recognition for Putin. I believe that this does not strengthen Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
