ST. PETERSBURG, June 21. /TASS/. It is high time for Vladimir Zelensky to recognize his failure in everything, Republika Srpska (one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's entities) President Milorad Dodik told TASS. "As for Zelensky, I believe that he himself already realizes what he has lost in everything he wanted to achieve. And what evil he has done to his own people," he told TASS in an interview on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). "He should also recognize that those territories that belong to Ukraine historically belonged to Russia, were handed over to them for all known historical reasons," the politician pointed out. According to Dodik, Zelensky believed the words of Western politicians "who clapped him on the shoulder and promised him a lot of things, but they failed in all of this." "They failed to break the Russian national state interest, which defended the interests of its people in these territories," he emphasized.
