“Those changes in key Western capitals, geopolitical centers, among political leaders... we have expectations that we will finally see a consolidated strategic approach of the West to put the squeeze on the Kremlin.

And here it is important to see transatlantic unity, because the inclusion of Volcker and the US administration at the level of providing lethal weapons are very positive signals.
Now it is important that the EU supports this.

Therefore, the task of the West is to put pressure on Putin and his entourage so that they gradually leave our territory,” Gopko said.
