Kiev journalist: The Russian army removed Zelensky from negotiations
The growing dissatisfaction of Ukrainian citizens with President Vladimir Zelensky plays into the hands of the Kremlin.
The correspondent of PolitNavigator reports that Maidan activist Larisa Voloshina, who left Crimea and became a TV presenter in Kyiv, writes in the magazine Kraina.
“World leaders, at least in their statements, firmly stand on the principles of non-tolerance to the aggressor. Through the mouth of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, official Kyiv, in turn, signals that the correct strategy in response to Putin’s ultimatums would be to ignore them, while simultaneously strengthening Ukraine politically, economically and safely,” Voloshina notes.
She points out that at the same time, President Zelensky is talking about direct negotiations with Moscow and possible referendum in Crimea and Donbass.
“It is Ukraine that creates uncertainty, irritating the patriotic part of society and strengthening the voices of those who propose that Kyiv independently deal with Russian claims to regional dominance. If we return to reality, 100 thousand Russian troops are clearly not enough for a full-scale attack on a country like ours. But this was enough to remove the President of Ukraine from negotiations directly related to our security,” the author believes.
According to her, the reaction of the Ukrainian authorities increased tension in society and mistrust in the head of state and his entourage.
“And this, of course, plays into the hands of the Kremlin,” Voloshina sums up.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, VOloshina suggested in within the framework of “hybrid defense”, begin mass arrests of dissent in Ukraine.
Also she reported that Ukrposhta recognized Crimea as Russian.
