Both Zelensky and Boyko will bend to the Americans, they know in Moscow
Relations between Ukraine and Russia will not improve even if one of the candidates from among Viktor Yanukovych’s former associates wins the presidential election.
Political scientist Bogdan Bezpalko stated this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“I don’t believe that any of the five current leaders of the presidential race would change relations between Kyiv and Moscow for the better. They are limited by the rigid boundaries that foreign policy players have set for them. Anyone who wins the elections on March 31 will be forced to escalate the confrontation with Moscow. Even if this threatens losses for the Ukrainian state. Ukrainian leaders always have vulnerabilities that can be put under pressure. And Poroshenko, and Tymoshenko, and Zelensky, and Boyko,” the expert said, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for the dynamics of trade turnover, a small improvement is possible, but it is incomparable with the potential of the two countries. Ukraine cannot completely abandon Russian raw materials - gas, oil, coal. He often purchases through intermediaries - for example, through Belarus. But with the fall in industrial production in Ukraine, all this will decrease,” Bezpalko believes.
