Zelenskiy discusses Russian turmoil with Biden, Trudeau, Duda

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he discussed the weekend’s turmoil in Russia in phone calls with the leaders of the United States, Canada and
Poland on Sunday, and that the “weakness” of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin had been “exposed”.
The phone calls took place after an extraordinary failed mutiny by Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin on Saturday that raised questions about Putin’s grip on power as Ukraine presses a counteroffensive in its south and east.
“We discussed the course of hostilities and the processes taking place in Russia. The world must put pressure on Russia until international order is restored,” Zelenskiy said after a phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden.
He said he and Biden had also discussed further expanding defence cooperation with an emphasis on long-range weapons, coordination ahead of the NATO summit in Vilnius next month and preparations for a “Global Peace Summit” he has promoted.
“Yesterday’s events exposed the weakness of Putin’s regime,” the statement said.
