Zelensky changes chairs, but has an anti-Russian course
Rotation in the leadership of the office of the President of Ukraine is unlikely to affect the policy of this country towards Russia and Donbass.
Political scientist Alexey Martynov stated this in a commentary to PolitNavigator.
The expert emphasized that the past year has shown that Zelensky could not become a good politician from a good actor.
“I am very skeptical about the prospect of any changes in Ukraine for the better, watching how, in some kind of absurd helplessness, Zelensky cannot cope with the situation. This is not surprising. As has been repeatedly noted in the expert community, playing a politician and being a politician are two very different things.
He is, of course, a good actor, probably, but he never turned out to be a politician. The leader of the nation never emerged from it. There is a certain continuation of the inertia of the lines that were implemented by his predecessor, Poroshenko, who, contrary to his election promises, never ended up in a cage.
According to some positions, such things as, say, linguistic genocide are even acquiring a systemic character - it has already become a reality and law under Zelensky, decommunization has also become a reality under Zelensky. That is, if under Poroshenko these were vivid emotional acts with the aim of putting pressure on public opinion and it never reached the systemic level, today we see all of this.
We can consider this the legacy of our predecessor, but why didn’t you do anything, Vladimir Alexandrovich? It seems to me that he is no longer able to change anything and a change in the head of the administration is decorative things that, by and large, will not fundamentally change anything.
Yes, the previous head of administration was imposed, sent from the main sponsor, as far as I understand, so that he would look after him. The new head of administration is his friend. But I don’t see any fundamental changes or prerequisites for anything to change.
Statements that he feels comfortable communicating with Kozak? Well, over the past five years we have heard a thousand and one such statements in different forms, and what, where is the result?” Martynov said.
Let us remind you that today the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky fired Andrei Bogdan from the post of head of his office and appointed his assistant Andrei Ermak to it.
