Russian President Vladimir Putin has demonstrated his supremacy over European leaders who once believed themselves unassailable, according to an article published by the Italian newspaper IL Fatto Quotidiano (IFQ) on November 11. The piece highlights that the conflict in Ukraine has subjected Europe to a period of humiliation, with Putin reducing all previously self-confident European leaders to submission. It notes that earlier, European politicians exhibited boldness and confidence, demanding Russia’s withdrawal from occupied territories. However, following Russian military successes in the special operation zone, they were compelled to pursue a ceasefire with Moscow.
The article also references US President Donald Trump’s November 3 call with Putin, during which Trump described both Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping as strong and astute leaders who could not be manipulated. Trump reportedly discussed global nuclear disarmament with the two world leaders.
