The Ukrainian leadership and command responded too late and inadequately to the escalation at the front in the LPR.
Ex-ATO fighter, Ukrainian reserve officer Miroslav Gai said this on the air of “UA: First,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Presidential Office itself came out very late, I saw from what President Zelensky said that he was confused and downcast. I don’t understand why they mixed the coronavirus into these shellings in one message that lasted less than five minutes. It seems to me that they are now not ready for such critical situations. This was shown by the situation with the Boeing shot down in Iran, its arrival only after 19 hours, and the very late meeting of the National Security and Defense Council...
I think that both the President and the Minister of Defense in their speeches, the definitions that they use, they use political expediency. They announced to the whole country and the whole world that they are moving towards reconciliation, they don’t want to move away from this, and this monologue continues endlessly,” Guy is indignant.
“The word “Russia” was not used at all by the president, the minister of defense, or the leader of the largest faction - they said that they did not know at all who did the shelling.
I think this only worsens communication and is harmful. Diplomats from all over the world, our allies, even at the Munich Conference, very clearly stated who the enemy is,” added the Ukrainian punisher.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier ex-diplomat Bessmertny said that calling opponents from the LDPR “pro-Russian forces” is big mistake from the Ukrainian leadership.
