Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy showed with his letter to Putin that the Russian dictator is weak. This was stated by Member of the European Parliament Riho Terras.
Terras said that Putin's behavior has changed. Before, he was arrogant, but now he talks more about the economy and ending the war.
Zelenskyy sent Putin an open letter and drones to St. Petersburg. This was a strong message. Zelenskyy feels that the situation has changed.
Western media says Ukraine has a strategic advantage. Terras hopes this is not false. Putin no longer speaks so arrogantly but about the economy.
With his letter, Zelenskyy showed Putin as weak. Putin did not respond quickly or clearly. This shows that Zelenskyy was successful.
The situation depends on how much Putin knows about the front. It seems he either doesn't know or ignores the facts. Ukraine is not yet winning, but the situation is balanced.
Putin hopes the West will stop supporting Ukraine. But this will not happen. The European Union has given Ukraine 90 billion euros in aid. Hungary's Orban, who blocked aid, is no longer in power.
NATO plans to give Ukraine 70 billion euros. Ukraine now produces missiles that can reach far. For example, missiles were sent to Kronstadt, the heart of Russia.
In Russia, people discuss the war on social media. Some want to rest and gather strength. This shows that confidence in a war victory is lost.
Terras does not believe Putin will meet Zelenskyy anywhere but the Kremlin. Otherwise, he would show himself as weak. The war will continue similarly in summer.
Oil refineries are burning in Russia. Russia attacks Kyiv because it reaches the media. There are constant battles at the border, but no major changes.
