Everyone in the West already understood about “Putin’s face” – Kuleba

Now it is important to confirm with partners the understanding that regardless of the Russian government, Russia itself will not change its essence, the head of the Foreign Ministry noted.

The idea of ​​”saving Putin’s face” no longer has supporters in the West, but there are still those who want to “save Russia’s face.” This is what Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview for RBC-Ukraine, published on Friday, December 30.

“Only the sect of ‘saving Russia’s face’ remains. But as far as Putin is concerned, they already understand everything. It is a marginal sect, but it still exists, through the prism of ‘we don’t care to live with them’, ‘they will not disappear anywhere’ and the like.”, said the minister.

According to Kuleba, the main thing for him now is not so much to overcome this sect, but to establish in his partners the understanding that no matter what the Russian government is, Russia itself will not change its essence.

“It should stop a wider circle of people who believe that it is possible to make a liberal, democratic country out of Russia. And it is really more important to overcome this narrative. And agree with the thesis that the Russia is what it is, and our task is not to turn an orc into an elf, but to eliminate this invasion,” said the Foreign Minister.

He added that it was necessary to create conditions under which Russian expansion would be impossible.

“That is, from an aggressive authoritarian country, it should become an authoritarian, conservative country. They need to be pushed to their borders and imprisoned. head of Ukrainian diplomacy.

Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda said there was no need for European leaders to “save Putin’s face”, as no one thought of saving Adolf Hitler’s face during World War II.
