The author of the article believes that Putin, Macron and Merkel, after Zelensky’s appeal to hold a meeting in the Norman format, showed that they did not plan to meet at each invitation of the Ukrainian leader if he had no new proposals to resolve the situation in the Donbass.

“Therefore, all three diplomatically refused Zelensky to meet. And they did it right. A tough lesson for our President, ”he said.

Also, a political scientist considers Zelensky a “populist”. According to him, the presidents of Russia and France and the German chancellor are “classical political leaders” who conduct foreign policy with the help of diplomacy.

Earlier, Zelensky called for a meeting of the leaders of the "Norman Four" in connection with the death of four Ukrainian military in the Donbass.
