Turin, 8 September (LaPresse) – "It must be understood that Putin is not at all ready to end the war. He intends to continue because he believes he has no alternative. The war guarantees that he remains a central player on the international stage, which is why he continues to attack, threaten and provoke.‘ This was stated to Corriere della Sera by Mykhailo Podolyak, one of the best-known advisers to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. ’The important thing is to get rid of the illusion that we can deal with Putin on equal terms. We must also remember that the Russian economy is quite weak at this point,‘ he explained. ’We return to the need to force Putin by force. This means tougher sanctions, as well as trying to isolate Russia from the global market, but above all ensuring maximum military support for Ukraine.‘ Putin ’will continue to play" with US President Trump, he stressed.
