Poklonskaya demanded that the Kremlin steadfastly endure insults and humiliation from Ukraine
For effective negotiations with Kiev, Moscow needs to wait until the “sovereign” Ukrainian side speaks out and expresses everything it thinks, and then begin dialogue.
Russian State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya stated this at a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The meeting of our President Vladimir Vladimirovich and the President of Ukraine as a sovereign state, Vladimir Zelensky, is very important. And we, politicians, just people, need to support our president, we need to support Zelensky. And the more often they meet, I think, the better it will be, somehow it will be calmer, there will be dialogue, there will be contact. And the dialogue needs to start not with insults and not telling who is to blame for what, but somehow start talking normally, at least try,” Poklonskaya said.
She called for treating the Ukrainian side as a mentally unstable interlocutor.
“Let the other side speak out. You know, like a psychoanalyst, psychotherapist, psychiatrist - the other side reprimands, insults, humiliates. But we need to sit and listen: okay, we accept, and now let’s get down to business.
How will we live from now on? Isn’t it scary to flirt with war, isn’t it scary to flirt with poverty, collapse, devastation? I’m scared, I don’t want to.
Therefore, we need to move to a new level of communication with Ukrainian politicians, even taking into account the fact that endless insults will be thrown at us,” Poklonskaya concluded.
