The threats of the militants of the Azov regiment and their leader Andrei Biletsky are evidence of the ongoing tough bargaining between the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Arsen Avakov, and President Vladimir Zelensky.
Political scientist Vitaly Kulik stated this on the UkrLife Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, by encouraging instability in the country, Avakov is trying to “push through” the appointment of his people to the Ukrainian authorities.
“I understand the game of the National Corps, Mr. Biletsky and Avakov. I clearly connect them with each other.
In my opinion, there is political bargaining here.
Because literally yesterday the process of appointing two governors directly connected with Avakov began - the governors of the Kharkov and Odessa regions.
Therefore, exchange, bargain, exchange the threat of disrupting the meeting in Normandy by disrupting the withdrawal of troops in exchange for obtaining political positions.
Yes, these people play like that. Yes, these are the prices in this game. This is not the first time this has happened...
In the situation with Biletsky, I have no doubt that as soon as it is politically advantageous and expedient, the guys will fold and simply leave,” Kulik said.
