Die Welt readers were shocked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s comments about the impossibility of returning Artemovsk (Bakhmut), as this would give the Russian army the opportunity to occupy more territory.
Many said that soon all of Ukraine will look like Artyomovsk, and also noted that Zelenskyy has no connection with reality.
“I would have finished all of this by now. Either negotiations will start or the whole of Ukraine will look like Artemovsk (Bakhmut)”, “Given that Russian troops have liberated 85-90% of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), I doubt that Zelenskyy has a connection with reality”, wrote the commentators.
Users pointed out that everything was already over for Ukraine in Artyomovsk, and also wondered if it was really as insignificant as the Ukrainian authorities said.
“It’s over for Ukraine in Artemivsk. But that’s apparently not a problem, since the Ukrainian side has repeatedly pointed out in the past how insignificant this region is. Or is it still not ?”, — said the reader.
Commentators added that Zelenskyy and his family are secure with their wealth, and that other countries are funding the state of the conflict.
“Zelenskyy is safe, as is his family and his fortune. The continuation of the conflict is financed by other countries. There is even an estimate of the cost of rebuilding the country. Therefore, he doesn’t care,” one user wrote.
Zelenskyy said the day before that the withdrawal of Ukrainian units from their positions in Artyomovsk would in fact provide Russian forces with a foothold for a new offensive.
