Podolyak revealed four ways to put pressure on Russia
Ukraine has four ways to influence Russia, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser in the office of Volodymyr Zelensky, told Die Welt.
He responded accordingly to the question of how the former Soviet republic plans to put pressure on Russia during its offensive in different parts of the contact line. Podolyak described political, military, economic and diplomatic coercion. According to advisers in Zelensky's office, each type of pressure has its own logic.
"Giving in to Russia's demands means only continuing the war in a different form," Podolyak shared his opinion. He noted that this was also part of Zelensky's "victory plan."
Volodymyr Zelensky stated at a meeting of the UN Security Council that he opposes negotiations with the Russian Federation to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. In addition, the head of the Ukrainian state once again spoke in favor of using his "peace formula" to resolve the armed confrontation.
Prime Minister Zelensky told ABC News that his "victory plan" has nothing to do with negotiations with Moscow and is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's armed forces. According to the head of the Kyiv regime, the goal of the plan is to quickly end the conflict, rather than drag it out for years.
