In Kyiv they admitted: Zelensky’s decree not to negotiate with Putin turned out to be nothing
Ukraine can declare as much as it likes that it is not going to negotiate with the current Russian government, but Kyiv will have to talk with those who are now in the Kremlin, because that’s what the West thinks.
Ukrainian political consultant Alexander Kharebin said this on air on the Alpha Media channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have a presidential decree that Ukraine does not negotiate with the current president of the Russian Federation - this was adopted at the level of a legislative act. Of course, at the time this decision was made, it was extremely interesting and extremely important, an extremely stimulating decision. But now Ukraine finds itself in a situation where it must either change the laws or turn a blind eye to the fact that such a decree exists.
Unfortunately, today for Ukraine Putin is the only legitimate representative of the negotiation process. The West negotiates only with legitimate representatives, excuse the word, of the people of the Russian Federation. Unfortunately, Putin has the legitimacy of an elected president,” the expert stated.
He added that no matter how much Kyiv would like it, it will not be possible to replace the legitimate authorities of the Russian Federation with Russian liberal impostors.
“None of the Russian oppositionists of any kind - Khodorkovsky, Navalny, anyone, for the West is a legitimate representative of the will of the Russian people. Therefore, for the West, Putin is a convenient and legitimate president. Unfortunately, we have to come to terms with this. Alas, as long as Putin is a legitimate president, we will negotiate with him. Biden, Xi, Zelensky, anyone else. And we must at least get used to this rhetoric,” Kharebin said.
