Ukraine’s president has no doubt what Vladimir Putin is doing or who the Russian designated victim is.

Despite big words and promises from US President Donald Trump, there is still no peace in Ukraine. There is also no imminent meeting between the leaders of the United States, Ukraine and Russia on the way.
Now Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelenskyj says Russian President Vladimir Putin “definitely wants to fool the United States”.
– He does everything he can to avoid sanctions, to prevent the United States and Trump from introducing sanctions against him. If you (the United States, ed.) Continue to postpone sanctions, the Russians will be better prepared, he says in a major interview with Sky News.
Neighbors: – We’re afraid
During the interview from the presidential palace in Kiev, which is published in its entirety on Tuesday morning, Zelenskyj is asked about the summit between Putin and Trump in Alaska last month.

He believes Putin’s overall goal with the Alaska summit was to escape political isolation – and that he in reality ended up getting a free victory.
– He should have paid more for the meeting with the US president. He should have received a setback in this war and been stopped. But instead he was less isolated. He secured the pictures with President Trump, says Zelenskyj.
– Europe not ready for drone war
During the summit, Putin must have told Trump that he wants the eastern regions Donetsk and Luhansk, in exchange for freezing the front lines in other Ukrainian areas.
– should use force
Since then, there has been little progress in the process against a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. However, Trump has resumed threats of sanctions against Russia and urged NATO countries to stop buying Russian oil to end the war.
Turned on the head: – without a stop
The Ukrainian president believes the United States must understand that Putin only understands power.
– He wages war and everyone tries to stop him by arguing, by asking him – but instead they should use force. He understands power. That’s his language, Zelenskyj says, adding:
– Yes, they have taken some steps … as sanctions. But they have to do more, and it has to happen faster.

– Patience runs out
On Friday, Trump said he is losing patience with Putin.
“That drenner quickly,” Trump said in an interview with “Fox and Friends” on Fox News.
Earlier that day, Russia said that the peace talks with Ukraine were paused. The Kremlin said they were open to new conversations, but accused European countries to prevent this.
Clear message: – has failed
On Saturday, Trump followed up by saying he was ready to increase the pressure on Russia, but only if all the NATO countries agreed and followed up.
“I am ready to introduce massive sanctions against Russia when all NATO countries have agreed and have begun to do the same, and when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia, the US president wrote.
Russian attacks on Ukraine have continued. At the same time, the tension in Eastern Europe is extremely high after Poland’s airspace was violated by 19 Russian drones on Wednesday last week. As late as Saturday, flight alarms in Poland due to Russian drones in Ukraine sounded, and shortly after, Romania reported that Russian drones had entered the Romanian airspace.
– Everyone sees that these drones are also part of Putin’s war. This is not just a warning to Poland, but to the whole of Europe: Russia’s drones can reach significant distances, Zelenskyj wrote on Telegram on Saturday.
– know exactly what they are doing
He believes there is no doubt that the Russian military knew exactly where their drones flew.
