Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is trying to resist inertial pressure from the state apparatus left over from Poroshenko. However, it cannot afford to take any radically new steps regarding the conflict in Donbass.
Political scientist Alexey Yakubin stated this on the PolitWera channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, “the deep state of the Poroshenko era continues to operate.”
“Zelensky often receives information from authorities, but he is not always ready to believe it or he has doubts - is everything that is given to him exactly like this?
On the other hand, there is an interesting nuance if we talk about the scenario “rather, do not change anything, but make some new accents. Yesterday Zelensky spoke about “the other side.”
You can’t even imagine how much negativity this caused among the ex-president’s supporters and in patriotic circles. He said that [Putin] would influence “the other side.”
In fact, in this regard, Zelensky is absolutely correct. There are self-proclaimed republics that have been constantly ignored. But Zelensky said “A”, but did not say “B”. “Let Putin influence the other side.” Why don’t you want to influence the “other side”?
Agree that, after all, the Minsk agreements say that it is necessary to conduct negotiations with the participation of representatives of individual regions of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
That is, even in this - he kind of said a little like this, and then came back,” stated Yakubin.
