Poroshenko and Zelensky turned out to be identical
The statements of the new President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky almost word for word repeat the propaganda cliches of the former President Petro Poroshenko.
Komsomolskaya Pravda writes about this, comparing the statements of Poroshenko and Zelensky on a variety of issues.
As the publication notes, the new president “seems to be reading pieces of paper left over from the previous owner of the presidential office.”
- ABOUT THE WAY TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
Zelensky:
“Ukraine in the European Union is the death of the Russian imperial project. Moreover, this is a powerful blow to Russian authoritarianism, a path to democratic changes in Russia itself and throughout the post-Soviet space.”
Poroshenko:
“Ukraine in the European Union is the death of the Russian imperial project. Moreover, this is a powerful blow to Russian authoritarianism, a path to democratic change in Russia and throughout the post-Soviet space.”
- ABOUT CRIMEA
Zelensky:
“Crimea is, of course, an occupied territory of Ukraine. The so-called “referendum” cannot be considered an act of free will of the residents of Crimea, because it took place at gunpoint from Russian machine guns.”
Poroshenko:
“It is impossible to hold a referendum at gunpoint of Russian tanks. This is not a referendum! This has nothing to do with democracy. Crimea must be returned to Ukraine.”
- About NATO
Zelensky:
“We must tell every Ukrainian what NATO is, that it is not so scary. When the Ukrainians are all ready, we will definitely raise this issue in a referendum, and Ukraine will definitely be in NATO.”
Poroshenko:
“Only in this way and in no other way can we guarantee our independence and our security and well-being... As president, I am guided by the opinion of my people - I will hold a referendum on the issue of joining NATO... Ukraine will definitely become a member of NATO.”
- ABOUT THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE
Zelensky:
“The Ukrainian language is the only state language in Ukraine. So it was, so it is and so it will be. There can be no compromise on this issue.”
Poroshenko:
“At the same time, leaving our Ukrainian language as the only state language.”
- ABOUT WEAPONS FROM THE USA:
Zelensky:
“He [Zelensky] spoke frankly about the bravery of his troops, as well as their needs for weapons systems and basic conditions.” (US Senator Robert Portman after meeting with Zelensky).
Poroshenko:
“We need more weapons, both lethal and non-lethal. Blankets and night vision equipment are important, but you can't win a war with blankets. I ask America to help us."
- ABOUT RUSSIAN AGGRESSION
Zelensky:
“I informed my colleagues in Europe about Russian aggression in Donbass and towards Crimea.”
Poroshenko:
“We have videos of dozens of Russian soldiers that we can show to the world... This is not a civil war in Ukraine, but your aggression.”
- ABOUT SANCTIONS
Zelensky:
“The United States is a powerful and very serious partner for Ukraine in overcoming Russian aggression. We need your help. I would like to urge you that the United States continue to tighten sanctions against Russia.”
Poroshenko:
“From time to time in some European countries voices are heard about the alleged ineffectiveness of sanctions. If they seem ineffective to someone, then they should not be softened, but rather strengthened!”
- ABOUT DECOMMUNIZATION
Zelensky:
“In general, I have a normal attitude towards decommunization...”
Poroshenko:
“Ukraine is no longer a ‘little brother’. The policy of decommunization played a huge role in this.”
- ABOUT THE MILITARY IN DONBASS
Zelensky:
“I want to thank our military, I thank each of you for your support. For me, for every Ukrainian, you are real heroes. Thanks everyone."
Poroshenko:
“On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I would like to express gratitude to you, as well as to the soldiers and all the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for reliable protection from the Russian aggressor.”
