Vladimir Zelensky is allegedly gnawing at the feeling of guilt that Russia is meeting Kyiv halfway in negotiations, and the Ukrainian president cannot reciprocate because of the “rabid minority” that is against any compromises with Moscow.
The odious Lvov TV presenter Ostap Drozdov stated this on air on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A very eloquent quote from one of the members of Zelensky’s team was published by Ukrayinska Pravda, where in an informal conversation, speaking about Russia, he gives the following characterization, quote: “We came to Putin and said: let you take a few steps towards us, and We will then be able to explain to our people why we need to take some steps. And the Russians agreed to exchange prisoners, gave up ships, and extended gas transit. What about us? But nothing." This is what the team of the Ukrainian president says.
That is, they gave up the ships - this means “Russia has met halfway.” Is it okay that Russia even had to hand over those ships as an international criminal in accordance with the international maritime tribunal? This is not something she went along with!
The fact that they did an exchange of prisoners, well, they did it in exchange for absolutely specific, on specific conditions, gas transit. Which is generally beneficial to Russia, and not to Ukraine, because they have not yet completed their Nord Stream 2, therefore, without our gas transit, Russia is generally sitting on beans. What are these, concessions? – the Galician was indignant.
“Well, okay, and now, in fact, this quote: they did something to us, according to Putin’s logic, they met us halfway, but we did nothing. From here I derive this psychological problem: the commander-in-chief of a country during war is a person who feels a deep sense of guilt towards the enemy. He still owes him, on a psychological level, he is driven by guilt because, they say, Russia is meeting him halfway, but I just can’t, because this rabid minority won’t allow me to make concessions with Russia.
This is how it happens that, under the guise of quarantine, under the guise of a terrible coronavirus epidemic, enormous powers with the right to single-handedly declare a state of emergency, and, therefore, to continue his tenure in office forever, are given to a person who, in addition to being unprofessional, also and with a guilt complex in front of his enemy,” Drozdov added.
