In the speech on Friday morning in Istanbul, Moore also criticized the Russian President Vladimir Putin Scharf: Putin was not interested in a peace peace without Ukrainian surrender."He keeps us. Because it was always about sovereignty: Putin denies the sovereignty of Ukraine and its existence as a country and nation."Putin tries to convince the world that a Russian victory in the Ukraine War is inevitable."But he lies. He lies the world. He lies his people. Perhaps he is even lying himself," said Moore in his speech.
