Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin believes that "Ukraine is part of Russia." This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with
Sky News on Friday, November 29. "No one, not even during this war, has been able to change his opinion," he said. Zelensky pointed out that the Russian dictator aims to "destroy everything Ukrainian, everything related to Ukraine and Ukrainians." The president emphasized that Putin's ideas and actions are reminiscent of Adolf Hitler, and the Russian dictator will not abandon them. "It's not just that it sounds very loud, that Putin is Hitler: he has all the same traits, only one nation, the world of one nation, the priority of one nation. It's the same method, and he employs the same steps, the same narratives, and the same disinformation in this case," Zelensky emphasized.
