Kopatko: Stop being charmed. Zelensky is an even more dangerous enemy
Russian journalists need to stop harboring false hopes about the statements of Vladimir Zelensky, which gave hope for a change in the course of the Ukrainian ruling elite. The new president’s team is even more dangerous puppets of the West, Russian-speaking Ukrainian nationalists.
Donetsk sociologist Evgeniy Kopatko stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia has illusions, which is also called the “Stockholm syndrome”, when they told you something good, and you think that you can negotiate with them. I don't think so.
And in Donbass every day they think the opposite. Listening to the speeches of Ukrainian politicians about what needs to be done with my fellow countrymen, people’s desire to cooperate somehow disappears by definition.
We quite often say: “Steinmeier formula”. For me, it ended on February 21, 2014, when they, together with the Poles and the French, forced Yanukovych to sign, and on February 22, Viktor Fedorovich, in fact, ceased to be the president of Ukraine. This is all your “Steinmeier,” the expert was indignant.
“They simply chose a more sophisticated tactic, I would call it respectable nationalism. They are all Russophobes, even if they are Russian-speaking and Russian-cultural,” Kopatko added.
