Zelensky decided that Donbass has already been defeated
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, contrary to his words that until victory in the east, military equipment has nothing to do on the streets of Kyiv, organized a military parade on “independence day” solely for the sake of sympathy from nationalists.
Political scientist Kirill Molchanov stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If two years ago our president said that there was no need to hold any parades, because the equipment should be in the Donbass, and we would hold the parade only after the victory, now he decided to go into a deep internal rethinking or rebirth and began to choose more and more and more militaristic rhetoric.
True, I do not agree with him that this will lead to any effect. Because Zelensky was elected on the same slogans, on one electoral base, now he is starting to retreat to another, but for the nationalists, for the jingoists, he will never be one of their own, he is a stranger to them, some kind of absolutely alien politician... they have their heroes, whom they will support,” Molchanov said.
“From the point of view of the electoral base, this will lead him to a political disaster in the next elections, since he has turned his back on his people and will not attract new voters,” the political scientist emphasized.
