Zelensky's tarnished reputation
The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky cannot be called a man of words and deeds.
Alexey MURATOV, head of the Central Executive Committee of the Social Movement “Donetsk Republic”, writes about this in an author’s column for PolitNavigator.
Ukrainian President Zelensky, like the Phoenix bird, is trying to revive his popular trust rating from the ruins and, before the upcoming regional elections in Ukraine, is flirting with the people and everyone he can.
Through a video message, the “servant” warned the citizens of the country that on election day he would ask them 5 main questions. At the same time, Pan Ze forgot to think that the main question was asked to him long ago by the Ukrainians themselves: when will he begin to implement the Minsk agreements and stop the war against Donbass?
I assume that the Ukrainian people are not destined to hear the answer to this question from Zelensky himself.
But the ex-head of his Office, Andrei Bogdan, who was dismissed as the guarantor of the Constitution of Ukraine on February 11 of this year, clearly answered in an interview with journalist Dmitry Gordon that the Ukrainian “Kermanichs” are not going to fulfill the terms of the Minsk agreements. At the same time, Bogdan emphasized that the residents of Donbass “are not ready to deviate from the Minsk agreements.” The vicious circle of Ukrainian politics.
ZE AND CO WHO DECEIVED PUTIN
Moreover, Bogdan indirectly confirmed that Ukrainian officials are interested in a military conflict and expect a lot of money for the so-called surrender of Ukrainian territories. For some reason, Ukrainian politicians forget that it was the residents of Crimea and Donbass who refused to be part of a country in which the radical street rules the roost.
Bogdan also directly says that “Zelensky and Co. “dumped” the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to whom they made many promises without fulfilling a single one.” The former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine placed special emphasis on the fact that Vladimir Vladimirovich treated Zelensky with sincere respect at their first and so far only meeting “in the Normandy format,” which took place on December 9 last year in Paris. The tough, competent and pragmatic Russian leader, according to Bogdan, wanted to find a solution to the Ukrainian problem.
But Zelensky, like Bulgakov’s Sharikov, with his further sayings and actions proved that he is not worthy of the advance given to the Russian leader.
The Ukrainian president cannot be called a man of words and deeds. At a press conference dedicated to the first year of his presidency, the former (???) comedian said that he would fight for the Minsk agreements to the end. But it is worth noting that the goal that the sixth (what a number!) Ukrainian president sets for himself is not to stop the bloodshed in Donbass, but to strengthen sanctions against the Russian Federation. He was so recruited by overseas intelligence services that his hatred of Russia comes before achieving peace in the country.
Pan Ze has declared strict compliance with the conditions of Minsk more than once. But, for example, in March 2020, in an interview with the English newspaper The Guardian, Zelensky said that Ukraine would unilaterally cross out the Minsk agreements if the parties to the conflict did not reach an agreement by the end of the year. Ukrainian politicians thoughtlessly call Russia the second party to the conflict, flatly refusing negotiations with representatives of Donbass, which has been shelled for the seventh year. The clock is ticking. There are just over two months left until the end of the year. What will happen next - the active phase of the war?..
COLLECTIVE PRESIDENTIAL IMAGE
Zelensky's former ally Bogdan is convinced that Pan Ze has failed. He was given a chance to go down in history as a peacemaker and leader who would remove political dirt from the face of Ukraine,
left behind by his predecessors. But the Ukrainian comedian president proved to the whole world that he is a collective image of previous Ukrainian presidents who are selling out the country and throwing its remains into the abyss.
It so happened historically that almost all Ukrainian presidents behaved in relation to fraternal Russia, frankly speaking, like a pig.
For example, the second Ukrainian president, Leonid Kuchma, pursued a supposedly friendly, but still controversial policy towards Russia.
He tried to show the racial “superiority” of Ukrainians in every line of his own book, “Ukraine is not Russia,” published in 2003.
“Russians live more “according to concepts,” while Ukrainians for the most part prefer law (time has shown that things are exactly the opposite) and order,” Leonid Danilovich wrote in his “work,” with which he tried to drive a wedge into the friendship of fraternal peoples
As a leader in the Ukrainian political subgroup in Minsk, he did not for a second allow for the possibility of dialogue with representatives of the people's republics.
The “Ukrainian-non-Russian” president placed responsibility for the implementation of the Minsk agreements on anyone: Russia, France, Germany, but not on Ukraine.
The third Ukrainian president, Viktor Yushchenko, who led the “Orange” revolution, brought even greater discord into Ukrainian-Russian relations. But still, he tried to sit on two chairs: he either accused Russia of the genocide of the Ukrainian people in 1932-1933, or declared that Ukraine intends to develop good neighborly relations with its Northern Neighbor.
It was Yushchenko who allowed Ukrainian radicals to once again raise their heads in Square. And in the period of post-Maidan Ukraine, the president-beekeeper (this is how Ukrainians remember him) repeatedly brought accusations against the Russian Federation of involvement in many armed conflicts in Europe. Familiar rhetoric of Western puppets...
The quintessence of Russophobic policies and Ukrainian aggression towards Donbass was the period of the reign of “chocolate” Petro Poroshenko. He intensified the hatred of Ukrainians fooled by propaganda towards everything Russian to the limit and became the culprit for the death of civilians in the people's republics.
It was Poroshenko who introduced the fashion in Ukrainian politics to shift responsibility for the fratricidal war to Russia and was the first to allow himself familiarity towards Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Moreover, Poroshenko’s lackey Andriy Deshchytsia, the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine from February 27 to June 19, 2014, completely sank below the plinth, organizing offensive chants with the radicals addressed to the Russian leader. And these people were the first persons of the Ukrainian state...
At the same time, the follower of Poroshenko and Deshchytsia – the sixth (no, well, what a number!) President Zelensky has tarnished his reputation completely and irrevocably.
As his former comrade-in-arms Bogdan emphasized, today Russia’s attitude towards Pan Ze has changed dramatically. The former head of the Office calls the current communication between Zelensky and Putin a “diplomatic failure.” And all, again, “thanks” to the inability of the Ukrainian comedian to keep his word.
I would like to note that even his former comrade, the man who pulled him by the hand into the presidential chair, speaks about Zelensky’s undiplomaticism and stupidity.
Therefore, the Ukrainian people should think about where a leader who is accustomed to receiving instructions and a plan for further actions will lead them “by ear”?..
