Kiev is despondent: the West has finally sided with Russia
Ukraine’s Western partners allegedly acted extremely cynically and demonstrated a policy of double standards when they made Russian President Vladimir Putin a welcome guest in their circles.
Ukrainian journalist Tatyana Danilenko stated this on the ATR TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Putin, having held elections in Crimea and not allowing conditionally opposition candidates to participate in elections in his country, did not receive any diplomatic troubles in connection with this. There was some kind of sleepy statement from European institutions that it was necessary to admit opposition candidates, we are concerned, and nothing more.
No statements about sanctions, he did not shake hands. He is the person with whom everyone now wants to meet, whose strategy French President Macron calls extremely successful, and Donald Trump likes.
A man holds elections in annexed Crimea, does not allow opposition candidates to participate in elections in Moscow, he has protests, arrests, more than a thousand people are arrested in one day. And the world swallows it, he shakes hands, they wait for him, they invite him everywhere.
Against the backdrop of the situation in Moscow, he is invited back to the GXNUMX, invited to all possible European events, and everything is fine. This is great diplomatic cynicism and double standards of both the West and Ukraine, which is moving in the European channel,” the journalist was indignant.
According to Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Solontay, it was the past prisoner exchange helped Moscow finally get rid of Western isolation.
“The President [Zelensky] made a choice: either an exchange, or he will remind Putin, and then the exchange may fail. The exchange and elections in Crimea are part of this process. Just two weeks ago, Putin looked like a man who returned to PACE without fulfilling anything: the tribunal is not doing anything, and is preparing elections in Crimea.
What does he look like now? Despite the background of the elections in Crimea, he still looks like a person who was returned to PACE for good reason, and who was almost executed by the tribunal. And they say to return him as a handshake to large international intellectual and diplomatic circles, turning a blind eye to something,” Solontay added.
In turn, the leader of the Mejlis group banned in the Russian Federation, Refat Chubarov, said that the West is putting pressure on Ukraine today.
“Now the Ukrainian government is at stretch marks. Literally over the next few weeks, it will be loudly announced what is being prepared, Russia’s position will be directly stated: “Crimea is ours, Donbass is yours, but on our terms.” Can you imagine if tomorrow Macron and Merkel say: no, if this is the formula, and then everything we are talking about here will be absolutely worthless...
We all must help our president, our government, so that it does not break. It’s not just Putin, they [the West] will put much more pressure on Ukraine so that the issue of Crimea is completely removed, Donbass is on their terms. This is complete control over Ukraine, we are losing Ukraine,” the extremist concluded.
