“I spoke frankly about this to our European colleagues: they all say that Russia is very powerful ... And who makes it like that?

All of you, when you are afraid ... We ourselves make a cult, "- quotes the statement of Zelensky RIA Novosti.

He also expressed the opinion that there are countries in Europe that suffer from the sanctions policy against Russia.

“Everyone should understand that other states are suffering through this sanctions policy and not all states think about Ukraine or people,” the Ukrainian leader concluded.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko announced Ukraine's desire to "climb" under external control.

In June, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said on a straight line that Zelenskiy had placed his country under full external control.
