According to Ukrinform, he said this on Twitter, commenting on the impressions of Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer from his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Illusions of such scale always lead to tragedy. RF loses. In military, economic & geographical terms. An outcast country with a negative profile in history textbooks. This will be the 'victory'," Podoliak wrote.
Nehammer earlier said in an interview with American TV channel NBC that after his meeting with Putin, the Russian leader believes he is winning the war in Ukraine.
On February 24, Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a full-scale invasion of the country. Russian troops are shelling and destroying infrastructure and residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
