Bandera slogans are disappearing in Kyiv - journalist
After comedian Vladimir Zelensky won the presidential election in Ukraine, there was less bellicose rhetoric in the Ukrainian capital.
This is stated in a report by Komsomolskaya Pravda, whose journalist recently visited Kyiv.
She said that during her last visit to the Ukrainian capital she tried to photograph a huge banner “Glory to Ukraine!” at the border service office next to the SBU. Glory to heroes!".
“The SBU officers caught me photographing this banner, as well as the monument to the Peremozhets Cossack (depicts a Cossack on a horse piercing a two-headed dragon with a spear, symbolizing Russia). From the words “Why are you walking around here and taking pictures?” my soul sank into my heels. I had to make excuses that I was just a tourist. It worked out - they checked my passport and let me go.
And here I am again under the windows of the SBU. And there is no trace of that stretch mark anymore! Kozak, however, is still standing. Poroshenko-style belligerent rhetoric in Kyiv has indeed decreased. Streamers with Bandera slogans have also disappeared on many other streets,” says the author of the material.
Her acquaintance, a Ukrainian blogger, says that “before, from every voice they heard “war to a victorious end!”, but now, in his words, “it has become calmer, the intensity has decreased.”
“But most of my interlocutors in Kyiv still ask not to give their names. You never know how it will turn out. Now is an uncertain time,” the journalist clarifies.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, the new Ukrainian president, like his predecessor, continues to call Russia an “aggressor,” but at the same time with regret admits the defeat of Ukraine.
