«Putin nunca diz aquilo que pensa e muito menos faz aquilo que diz»

"Putin never says what he thinks, much less does what he says." Major General Isidro Morais Pereira analyzed, on the program Visão Global, Vladimir Putin's refusal to accept Volodymyr Zelensky's proposal for a face-to-face meeting aimed at a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine. The commentator emphasizes that the Russian leader's attitude was expected, stating that "nothing new in the East." According to Isidro Morais Pereira, "Vladimir Putin never wanted to meet with Zelensky," since "Russia sees Ukraine as an appendage of Russia itself." The major general highlights the contradiction in the Russian president's discourse, who recently showed himself willing to negotiate, but demands that the meeting take place in Moscow, which would create an "almost vassalage relationship" unacceptable to Ukraine. "Putin never says what he thinks, much less does what he says. And here we have proof," states the expert, comparing the intermittent nature of the Russian leader's discourse to that of the former US president: "Sometimes he even reminds me of Donald Trump. One day he says one thing, the next day he says the opposite." Isidro Morais Pereira also recalls that Putin rejected European mediation because they supplied weapons to Ukraine, ignoring that the United States also does so. The major-general concludes that Zelenskyy manages to dismantle Russian narratives, demonstrating that Putin is not interested in peace. #IsidroMoraisPereira #VladimirPutin #VolodymyrZelenskyy #WarInUkraine #Russia #Ukraine #Ceasefire #DonaldTrump #GlobalVision #Moscow #UnitedStates #Europe #PeaceNegotiations #MajorGeneral #ArmedConflict #InternationalMediation
