This was stated at a press conference in Kyiv by the head of the Ukrainian Politics Foundation, Kost Bondarenko, who called for thinking about how adequate the current leadership of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is.
“All defeats in the external arena - and there were about a dozen of them - stem from the absolutely inadequate leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the expert noted. But let's also be objective: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only embodies what is planned from above. And therefore we should probably talk about rebooting the entire foreign policy of Ukraine. I mean the blows that Ukraine received from the EU, the Netherlands, and German officials, who stated that the issue of Ukraine’s membership in the EU is not being considered. Here are a number of moments related to Poroshenko’s stay in Brussels, when he was simply humiliated. He has a pre-agreed program of meetings, half of which did not take place. Schultz refused to meet. And besides, they told him: we will shift this whole schedule to the evening, because we have more important things to do.”
“Plus, the adventure with an appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Pan-Orthodox Council, which ended in complete failure for Ukraine and, moreover, with indignant comments from the highest clergy, who stated that Ukraine acted too boldly, demanding the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church over the head of the Moscow Patriarchate,” Bondarenko added . – All this over the course of one week, a very compressed period of time. As a result, we saw a complete fiasco in all directions.”
