If a Ukrainian presidential candidate declares his readiness for a peaceful dialogue with Russia, he will simply not be allowed to participate in the elections.
This opinion was expressed on the Rossiya 24 TV channel by Nikolai Platoshkin, head of the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy at Moscow State University, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Elections in Ukraine will not be democratic, and martial law does not play any role here. I don’t know at all why everyone is attached to the fact that Poroshenko is introducing it for the sake of elections. He introduces it for thirty days, and the elections will be on March 31, what can we talk about?” said the political scientist.
In his opinion, the result of the change of power in Ukraine will not change the situation for Russia for the better.
“Elections are already undemocratic with martial law, without martial law. Any person who says “I am in favor of at least talking to the Russians” is a political corpse, he will not be allowed to speak out, he will not be registered. Therefore, there is no need to say here: “Well, Poroshenko will not be there.” Well, there will be other, equally moronic characters, what’s in it for us?” concluded Platoshkin.
Earlier, PolitNavigator cited a statement by the fugitive Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky that comedian Vladimir Zelensky, who occupies high places in presidential ratings, may be the commander-in-chief of Ukraine, no worse than American presidents.
Previously, the Verkhovna Rada, on the initiative of Poroshenko introduced martial law in some regions bordering the Russian Federation.
