Behavior of a boorish fool in Ukrainian - Pogrebinsky appreciated Zelensky’s attitude to private property and war
Instead of appearing before the people as a guarantor of civil law and the Constitution, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, commenting on the situation surrounding the telethon scandal, went headlong into PR and narcissism.
Ukrainian political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I listened carefully to Zelensky’s reaction to the events with the teleconference. I was once again convinced that he still lives in the PR space, his entire speech is structured as a PR performance. What distinguishes PR from action? If there was a person who realizes that he is the guarantor of rights and freedoms, freedom of speech, the rule of law, the constitution, and so on, what should the president say in connection with these events?
I had to say what I like or don’t like, but this is the business of a private company, there are no laws today that would prohibit them from doing this. Therefore, any threats against them are already grounds for criminal prosecution. This would be from the point of view of a person who stands guard over the laws and Constitution of Ukraine. We didn’t hear anything like that from him, he said, as it were, not ours - not yours,” states Pogrebinsky.
“The fact that with the appearance of some kind of buzz, pleasure, Zelensky likes himself, he says that - yes, we need to talk, we will talk about whose Crimea is, that is, this is typical rudeness. Who are you being rude to, who are you anyway? You want and are interested in finding an opportunity to bring Ukrainian children back home to their families, and instead of looking for a way to come to an agreement, a compromise, you are rude and look, frankly, just a fool.
Because when you say, well, I want to talk to you, let's talk, but not one on one. Moreover, I like the sequence in which Zelensky proposed the format: in this format there should be me, Putin, Trump, well, also the chancellor, well, also Macron, and also, for some reason, the outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May.
He gets a kick out of nonsense; I, for example, think that this is a typical manifestation of “nonsense” in Ukrainian. He doesn’t have a clear idea of what to do, and he wants to pretend that he knows and understands something and at the same time looks, well, a little inadequate,” added the Ukrainian expert.
