“Putin is the ultimate evil who is afraid of any competition,” Andriy Yermak, the head of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s management uploaded on X. “The lives of Russians are nothing to him. Everyone who calls for negotiations must realize that he cannot be trusted. The only language he understands is force.”

“Putin doesn’t care who dies, as long as he keeps his position,” Zelensky claimed. “That is why he should not keep anything. He must be defeated, lose everything and answer for what he has done.”
