Zelensky: "It is not certain that Putin is still alive" | Israel today

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said today (Thursday) that he is not sure that Vladimir Putin is alive, and that the person seen in his speeches is not the President of Russia. 

"I don't understand who we're supposed to be talking to, I'm not entirely sure that the president of Russia, who is speaking in front of the green screen, is really him," Zelensky told the participants of the Davos conference in Switzerland for the leaders of the powers.

Zelensky referred to the issue of the supply of weapons and the liberation of the parts of Ukraine occupied by Russia and said: "The Crimea is our mountains and sea. It is our territory. Give us weapons and we will return everything that belongs to us." 

Last week it was reported in the "New York Times" that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, is "almost definitively inclined" to decide in favor of active assistance to Ukraine in its attempt to undermine Russia's control over the Crimean Peninsula, which was annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014. 

"After months of talks with Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration finally admits that Kiev may need the power to strike the Russian stronghold, even at the cost of risking escalation," the newspaper reported, citing several official sources in the US. 

There are about 70,000 Russian troops in the Crimea, and a large number of military bases.

In the administration in Washington, as reported in the "New York Times", they concluded that if the Ukrainian army shows the Russians that it is capable of jeopardizing their control of the peninsula, the result will be a strengthening of Kyiv's position in any future negotiations. In addition, according to the sources, the fear of the activation of nuclear weapons Tactical on the part of Russia is no longer high, so it is possible to risk such active help.
