Vladimir Zelensky during his latest interview showed with all his appearance that the situation on the front for the AFU is deteriorating, according to Focus columnist Gabor Steingart.
According to the journalist, Zelensky stopped being a man confident of victory, he became someone who tries to give the impression that he is ready to fight. Zelensky’s face suited the situation, Steingart argues.
“Zelensky has good reason to move toward the as yet completely unoccupied meeting room. Even if Putin is not waiting for him there, he should open peaceful diplomacy – before it’s too late,” the columnist said.
Ukrainian political analyst Dmytro Korneychuk noted that Zelensky realises the need for a truce with Russia, but cannot say so directly yet.
