Tymoshenko's headquarters continues to suffer from clinical Russophobia
The improvement in the attitude of Ukrainians towards Russia, which has recently been recorded by sociologists as a result of surveys, is a threat.
Political scientist Konstantin Matvienko, working for Yulia Tymoshenko’s headquarters, reported this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“For 11 years now, since 2008, research has been conducted on the attitude of Ukrainians towards Russians and Russians towards Ukrainians. So, among Russians, 57% of respondents have a negative attitude towards Ukrainians. This is data from the Levada Center, which was accepted by KIIS. Among Ukrainians today, 55% have a positive attitude towards Russians.
That is, Ukrainian society to Russian society, despite the war, despite the fact that we have a huge number of prisoners in Russia, despite the destruction and murder and kidnapping of Ukrainian citizens, which were carried out by the Russian authorities, despite the fact that the Russians, the Russian people, They treat Ukrainians twice as bad as Ukrainians treat Russians, we still have this reverence. This is one of the details of how Russia can interfere in our affairs,” Matvienko said.
Earlier political scientist Sergei Belashko notedthat Poroshenko managed to impose a nationalist agenda on Tymoshenko, which played a cruel joke on her, narrowing the possibility of expanding the electoral base. As a result, in recent weeks, instead of an increase in the rating, there has been a decrease in Tymoshenko’s popularity, the expert emphasized.
“Tymoshenko merged into the mainstream, set by Bankova, drove herself into a “semantic ghetto” - “language, vira, embroidered shirts.” People wanted her to fight corruption, not dance with tambourines around the tomos, etc. Obviously, now Tymoshenko is trying to catch up with this departing train and enter the second round on the theme “to imprison Poroshenko’s friends,” Belashko said.
