The self-esteem of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky seriously decreased after Russian leader Vladimir Putin, along with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, unanimously refused to negotiate in the Normandy-Four format says the Ukrainian edition of Glavred.
They noted that Zelensky, who “urgently” convened the Norman four after the death of Kiev militants in the Donbas, was taught a “hard lesson” by showing the “inexperienced populist” that they did not intend to spend time on empty conversations until Kiev could present concrete proposals for a Donbass settlement.
“He [Zelensky] does not yet have his own vision, his own strategy, he does not know what to do in the Donbass, what to offer society. As a result, Zelensky behaves situationally, trying to please everyone and caring mainly about his rating, ”the publication notes.
