Former Verkhovna Rada deputy and Armed Forces of Ukraine Major Ihor Lutsenko called for listening to Russian President Vladimir Putin on YouTube channel KSHDU Media. Lutsenko said Putin should have been listened to for years, both before the full-scale conflict and now, because he gives clear signals.
The officer evaluated a 40-day operation announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Lutsenko described Zelensky's announcement as a political statement made in an effort to speak to Western leaders in bird language.
Criticism of Western leaders
Lutsenko defined bird language as Western attempts to avoid calling things by their real names. He added that Western leaders fear further escalation and want to avoid asking for trouble.
Earlier, Putin stated that Kyiv unleashed the war in Ukraine and that Moscow only responded to the conflict. The Russian president emphasized that the special military operation in Ukraine will end sooner or later, while expressing confidence that Ukraine will lose its western territories.
