This is nonsense: Zelensky on the West's failure to impose sanctions at the start of Russia's invasion (video)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the actions of Western countries regarding the imposition of sanctions at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion were inadequate. The head of state shared this in an interview with Lex Fridman.

Zelensky expressed that he had expected a stronger response from Western nations that could have prevented Russia's invasion. However, their actions led to disappointment, which the Ukrainian president articulated in vulgar terms.

"Please don't say that if he (Putin — ed.) comes, if he crosses the borders, if he starts killing, then we will impose sanctions," Zelensky said, citing the logic behind the potential imposition of restrictions from the West.

The head of state sharply criticized the stance of Western countries before the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion, using profanity.

"Well, this is bullshit, sorry," the head of state stated in an interview with Lex Fridman.
