Earlier, Berlusconi expressed the opinion that Zelensky needed to “stop attacking the two autonomous republics of Donbass” in order to avoid conflict.

The former Italian prime minister stressed that he "negatively evaluates" the behavior of the Ukrainian leader.

“Berlusconi expressed what most Italians think about Zelensky,” Valdegamberi said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The politician, relying on public opinion polls, noted that the majority of Italians oppose the continuation of the conflict and the supply of weapons to Kyiv.

Earlier, American journalist and writer Caitlin Johnstone opined that Volodymyr Zelensky has become a ubiquitous corporate mascot for "the most aggressive US advertising campaign" in history.
