Ukrainian President Volodymyr Genskyj called on Wednesday evening the Allies of Kiev to not respond too poorly to the threats of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said after Putin’s call with US President Donald Trump, in which the Kremlin chief threatened retaliatory attacks for recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian air bases, TASR writes according to AFP.
“If the world responds to Putin’s threats poorly, he considers it a willingness to close his eyes before his actions,” stated in the post on social networks. “When he does not feel strength or pressure, but only weakness, he is doing other crimes,” The Ukrainian president continued.
Greeding has also said that many have talked to Russia at several levels, but none of these interviews brought peace or stopping war. “Unfortunately, Putin feels impunity,” he wrote. “Every new attack, every postponement of diplomacy, Russia shows the erect mediator to the whole world – to all who are still reluctant to increase pressure against him,” added.
Similarly, the head of the Zelera’s office Andri Jermak, who said during a visit to Washington on Wednesday, said that Russia understands only strength and has no political will to end the war. However, this does not mean that Ukraine would not be open to further negotiations.
Wednesday’s phone call Trump with Putin lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. The couple discussed the potential peace in Ukraine, the recent drone attacks of Ukraine on Russian air bases and the development of the situation in Iran. “It was a good conversation, but not an interview that would lead to an immediate peace (in Ukraine),” He said after the phone call Trump, saying Putin told him that “he would have to respond to a recent attack on the air bases”.
Ukraine on Sunday as part of an extensive operation called “cobweb” through drones attacked Russian military bases. According to the Ukrainian General Staff, 12 Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers, destroyed. Unmanned aircraft were discharged from trucks that were built at Russian bases. Trump in a call with Putin, among other things, stressed that the US side was not informed about the attack.
