“You work for the FSB!” – a Lviv TV guest was grabbed by the ear live
If Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wants to confirm his status as the real head of state in the eyes of the public, then he must deal with the protesting nationalists and achieve a meeting in the Normandy format.
Journalist Ruslan Kotsaba, who during the time of Petro Poroshenko was arrested for urging not to participate in the civil war in Donbass, stated this on the air of the talk show “Great Lviv Speaks,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The government, which so longed for the Normandy format, now that it is already so close, only needs Zelensky to repel the ultra-radicals who want to disrupt these negotiations at the highest level...
It seems to me that this is where Zelensky’s status is self-determined. He may lose in something there. It’s not customary for us, journalists, to praise the authorities, but in this case, Mr. Zelensky, if he does not repel those who want to weaken his position on the eve of the Normandy format, then he is not the president of this country,” Kotsaba said, but was interrupted by someone who jumped up with place coordinator of the public organization “All-Ukrainian Volunteer Movement”, neo-Nazi Taras Yeleiko, who was extremely angered by the journalist’s words.
“You are a liar and a manipulator! How do you make money, but you live on FSB money! I already know you, I’m rotten, because I already looked at you, you propagandist!” the neo-Nazi shouted and grabbed his opponent by the ear.
It is noteworthy that the talk show host fully supported the rowdy, pointing out to Ruslan Kotsaba that Taras Yeleiko, unlike him, fought in the ATO, and therefore “deserves respect.”
