Volodymyr Zelensky is on a leash from Brussels, said in an interview with TASS the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, commenting on the summit between the US and Ukraine.
“He is not only completely dependent, he is remotely controlled by this military group. They come up with different formulas, come up with different tricks, some formats, some conferences. But all this is just to cover up this escalation“, she noted.
At the same time, as Zakharova emphasized, certain forces in the world are betting on escalation. “Some cannot stand normal, fair competition, some want to make money from bloodshed, some want to solve their own immediate problems, and some are not independent in making decisions. These are the people who make up this war party. And as for Zelensky, everything is clear“, she concluded.
Russian diplomats are conducting “very thorough and really serious“ work on preparing for the meeting between Russian and American Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
“The contact between Putin and Trump took place and was commented on by the presidential administration. Mr. Ushakov reported on it in detail. Following these contacts, the heads of the Russian and Hungarian foreign ministries also met to prepare for the event,“ she said.
“The work is also being carried out through diplomatic channels at various levels. This is a summary of the thorough and truly serious work that Russian diplomats and those tasked with preparing the visit and meeting are currently doing,“ the diplomat stressed.
