President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Vladimir Putin's response to his open letter "weak" and added that the Russian dictator "simply does not want to end the war," UNN reports.
Unfortunately, the Russian side is choosing war again – everyone heard today's response. A weak response. He simply does not want to end the war. I think this response disappointed many in the world
According to the Head of State, Putin does not want to change anything, "does not want to admit that his war is liked only by him and those who draw money from him – they were all very smiley today."
This means that Russia should have less money, and there should be more pressure on Russia. I thank everyone who helps us! I thank everyone who is with Ukraine, who wants real peace
