“We’ll watch” – Zelensky’s ultranationalism was sparingly praised in Lvov
For the upcoming elections, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is trying to assure the electorate that he ultranationalist, since this electorate is the last straw to which the Ukrainian leader clings.
Nikolay Savelyev, editor-in-chief of the Lvov newspaper Ratusha, stated this on air on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I think that Zelensky’s attempt to become a little Poroshenko is an attempt to attract a new electorate to future elections: “Look, you didn’t believe that I was an ultranationalist, but who said that before me?” It’s difficult to object to anything here, because no one has done something like this before Zelensky.
Life will show how sincere he is, the events of the near future will show, his visits to Biden and Merkel will show, and then we will see what the goal was and its implementation,” Savelyev said.
Also, the head of the Ternopil Regional Council, Mikhail Golovko, said that Zelensky is afraid to move away from nationalist rhetoric.
“We see such a transformation with the previous president Poroshenko, we see such a transformation with Zelensky, we understand that he is afraid that if he begins to move away from national themes and rhetoric, society will not accept it, and this could be his downfall.
I believe that we must create such conditions so that no politicians even think about becoming president - neither a statist nor a nationalist. This is our key task,” Golovko emphasized.
Let us recall that earlier in Kyiv they said that if any new candidate comes out for the next presidential elections in Ukraine, not from among those politicians who are already well known to voters, then the current president Vladimir Zelensky will lose to him by a double margin.
