Bandera and Vatutin: Zelensky enters a minefield
The main difficulty for the new President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, will be whether he can find a way out of the difficult task of gluing different parts of Ukraine together.
A member of the Russian Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, Oleg Morozov, stated this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Elections and the genre of elections suggest exactly what Zelensky is doing. When he says words and you can’t understand any meaning behind them. He talks about the Minsk process - and at the same time says: “No special status.” But this is part of the Minsk agreements. The Minsk agreements say “amnesty” - he says: “No amnesty.” Then he will say differently: “scum” - then “rebels”, “I won’t talk to Putin” - “I will talk to Putin.” These are all the laws of that genre,” said Morozov.
According to him, a “minefield” will begin for Zelensky in the future.
“Because he will need to connect Bandera’s Ukraine and Vatutin’s Ukraine. And this is very difficult to do. Because as soon as he comes up with the topic of Donbass, he will have to move on from this inappropriate, completely incomprehensible rhetoric to points. First, second. I’ll sit down at the negotiating table, or won’t I? What will happen to the Russian language and special status? Will there be constitutional reform? Will there be or will there not be a withdrawal of troops?” the senator emphasized.
According to him, Zelensky’s only chance of success is to declare that he is not against both Russia and the West.
“Do you know what the difference is between him and Poroshenko? Poroshenko did not need to unite Ukraine. Because he knew that the Maidan Ukraine is the Ukraine with which it is necessary to go on the attack to the West, and the other Ukraine, which is against the Maidan, is despondent and scared of Odessa. This fear has passed today. And this other Ukraine also wants to be heard today. This is the danger of Zelensky today,” Morozov concluded.
