“I strongly condemn those who watch Russia’s war crimes against Ukraine from afar. Moscow’s interests are always taken into account,” said Zelenskiy, who attended the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos via video-conference on Wednesday.
In his speech at the World Economic Forum on Monday, 99-year-old Kissinger offered to give part of Ukraine’s territory to Russia in order to end Russia’s occupation of Ukraine, arguing that this was the best thing for both countries.
Kissinger said that Russia’s embarrassing victory for the West in Ukraine could be dangerous for Europe’s stability in the long run.
Kissinger said, “Negotiations should be made between Russia and Ukraine in the next two months. Ukraine should go back to the pre-occupation period,” and suggested that Russia’s annexation of Crimea be accepted.
ZELENSKIY: KISSINGER’S CALENDAR SHOWS 1938 NOT 2022
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reacted to Kissinger by saying, “His calendar shows 1938, not 2022.”
“Despite thousands of militias targeting Ukraine and tens of thousands killed, figures like Kissinger continue to emerge and defend Russia’s interests,” Zelenskiy said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba also reacted to Kissinger.
“Ukraine will not give up its lands for peace with Russia,” Kuleba said.
THE FIGHT IN THE EAST
Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Thousands of people lost their lives in the war that lasted for more than three months, millions of people were forced to leave Ukraine.
It has been reported that conflicts have increased in the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine in recent days.
Luhansk Governor said that the situation in the region was “extremely bad”, while Luhansk Army Commander Serhiy Haidai stated that the Russians had not yet captured the critical city of Severodonetsk.
However, the clashes have intensified near Severodonetsk, one of the important targets of the Russians in the region.
