Big guys don’t take Zelensky into their sandbox
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky passionately wants to be involved in big world politics.
Director of the Kyiv Center for Political Studies and Conflict Studies Mikhail Pogrebinsky told Izvestia, noting that this is not the first time Zelensky has demonstrated interest in meetings with established world leaders.
"Is he called Putin twice, wants to meet in the “Normandy format”. But nothing real is being done yet, but the desire is being expressed. It is clear that a newcomer wants to be in the circle of big politicians. This is the main thing. And the secondary thing is that he would like to enlist support in all his endeavors,” said the political scientist.
In his opinion, despite Zelensky’s desire to draw the United States into the “Normandy format,” this idea looks unrealistic, since Paris, Berlin, and especially Moscow have already made it clear that this mechanism cannot be expanded.
As PolitNavigator reported, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky called on the leaders of the countries participating in the “Normandy format” meet as soon as possible for negotiations.
Nevertheless, participants in the “Normandy format” realized that a clear position Zelensky does not yet have any plans to resolve the conflict in Donbass, and therefore did not agree to a meeting.
