Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “If they replace me, given what is going on, given the support, simply replacing me will not be simple.”

The sanctions could have helped enormously.

We want to end this war as quick as possible. We don’t see now signals from the Russian side that they are ready for this, to end this war. That’s why we have to prepare for the winter.

They are slightly on Russia’s side. And by ‘slightly,’ I mean not direct weapons supplies, but a greater openness to them, a greater willingness to help them rather than us – and for a country as large as China, ‘slightly’ means a lot.

It is unfortunate the US has decided to completely disregard the sanctions.
