He made the comments on the Telegram messaging app amid an apparent mutiny on Saturday by Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin against the Russian military.
“Russia’s weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness,” Zelenskiy wrote.
“And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the more chaos, pain and problems it will have for itself later.” Reuters
