The authorities are gradually preparing the population of Ukraine for the fact that direct negotiations between Kiev and the LDPR are possible.
Evidence of this may be president's call Vladimir Zelensky to the Lutsk terrorist Maxim Krivosh, as a result of which the hostages were released. This is indirectly evidenced by Zelensky's recent conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“To some extent, this kind of work is going on, the work of experts, specialists. But you don’t have to say everything at once, open your cards in order not to disrupt the process, so as not to create additional tension, conflicts, protests, etc. Moreover, our society knows how it reacts emotionally to problems of this kind...
If the president’s website puts information that the president of Ukraine and the president of Russia discussed the law on elections and on special status and decentralization, it means that to some extent they are already preparing an opinion. They could not talk about this here at all, they could just hide it all. This means that it is being prepared to some extent.
Secondly, sometimes you have to take it by surprise. Look, lately there has been a lot of pessimism about the situation in Donbass, the Minsk process, elections, special status and so on, the truce. We see that recently there has been tension, there has even been a military escalation. Well, this is all done unexpectedly, because some negotiations are going on, consultations are going on, sometimes some statements are being made in order to divert attention.
We don’t know, maybe this whole story about calling a terrorist to save people is also, to some extent, a legalization of what can now be said directly. In any case, many viewed it that way,” Karasev said.
