Zelensky failed to reach a meeting with Putin
If Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky can become an independent and sovereign leader, then Russian leader Vladimir Putin will agree to meet with him.
This opinion, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, is expressed by the deputy director of the Institute of CIS Countries, Vladimir Zharikhin.
He believes that the meeting, which the formal head of Ukraine often talks about, is only possible if Zelensky reaches Putin’s level.
“This does not mean that Ukraine should be the same in size, population, number of missiles, and so on. This may be the leader of a modest-sized power, but he must be an independent and sovereign leader,” the expert told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
According to him, Vladimir Putin meets with the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, since he is independent in decision-making.
“What’s the point of meeting with Zelensky? He is not Gandhi to talk to about life and philosophize. If he shows that he can make at least some decisions, then the meeting will make sense,” Zharikhin sums up.
As PolitNavigator reported, the President of Russia during the “direct line” explained why he doesn’t see the point in a meeting with Zelensky.
