Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck thinks highly of the President of Ukraine. And in doing so, he puts positive qualities in relation to Kremlin leader Putin.
Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens) sees himself on the “same wavelength” as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. After he took office, some saw him as “a comedian who suddenly became president. And I experienced it differently from the start,” said Habeck in the podcast “My Hardest Decision” from the Funke media group. “I’m also a proud children’s book author. Maybe there was a kind of kinship in the fact that people came into politics from other professions.”
“It was a good fit from the start and I never felt that he was in any way not serious,” said the Green politician. “In any case, I saw a man who was full of inner conviction and full of enthusiasm to make his country a modern country in Europe.”
Robert Habeck praises Zelenskyj
Habeck particularly emphasized the Ukrainian president’s ability to empathize. “I see in Zelensky someone who suffers with his people, who has perhaps also learned to empathize in situations because of his professional training.”
Habeck sees things completely differently with Russian President Vladimir Putin: “He doesn’t cry like Zelensky or have tears in his eyes. He sacrifices his young soldiers by the hundreds of thousands, and without batting an eyelid.”
