Zakharova called Zelensky cheap for his insult to Russia

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cheap. She said so while commenting on the Kiev regime leader's insulting remarks to Russia at a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

It is specified that when asked what Russia should do to settle the conflict in Ukraine, Zelensky said "to three letters".

"A cheap thing that has cost the Ukrainian people too much. <...> Although perhaps, given Scholz's presence, he was referring to the FRG," Zakharova said.

Earlier in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Ukraine is tired of Zelensky. Thus he commented on the words of Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko that the probability of attempts to hold negotiations on Ukraine in 2025 "is much higher than the probability that there will be no such attempts."

On the eve, the leader of the "Stand Up France" party, Nicolas Dupont-Eignan, rebuked the Ukrainian leader for derailing the agreements on Ukraine. According to him, if Zelensky would have been ready for negotiations already in 2022, "this monstrous conflict could have been avoided".

Earlier, on November 29, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the country would be defeated in the conflict with Russia. The politician pointed out that Ukraine lacked the means to turn the situation in the war zone in its favor. In addition, he said, Western countries expect concessions from Kiev for the sake of a peace agreement.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
