Telephone: Zelensky's strongest weapon by Kievi surrounded by 16 of the world's most powerful leaders called them apart on Saturday

The Guardian's diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, in a writing on British prestige, writes how Ukraine's President Voldymyr Zelensky, with a hand phone from Kiev surrounded by Russian occupants and aggressors, is changing the world. How did he convince the West of sanctions against Russia that only a week ago [...]

Below, Winto's writing, translated with cuts from Periscope:

In a series of phones from Kiev surrounded by Occupator Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has managed to convince the West of severe sanctions against Russia, which, a week ago, could not be imagined.

Seeing how the European public opinion is responding to the bravery of his people, Zelensky has been constantly on the phone with Western leaders, has used Titter to encourage his people to fight, as well as numerous calls to his allies.

Until the sanctions imposed on Russia now, a week ago they could not even imagine that they could actually happen, this has become a major moral story for Ukraine. A leader said: “we are impressed by him. He may not be able to preserve Ukraine or change Russia, but he is changing Europe.

See only on Zelensky's diplomatic Saturday. He opened a new diplomatic front with Emmanuel Macron, continuing the day with European Commission President Ursula von Leyen, with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, with Swiss President Ignaziu Casis, with India's prime minister, Narenda Modani, with Turkey's President Erdogan, Azerbejan Ilham Aliyev, with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, with UN Secretary Antonio Guterrez, with German Chancellor Ola Schaffol, Papa with Prime Minister Petrka Fial, Prime Minister Il, Prime Minister Ildej, and a virtual meeting with British Prime Minister, and Dada Dida.

The day before, the number of calls was more or less similar. Zelensky was making efforts by Kiev to convince the West of severe sanctions. They're settled.
