Zelensky puts the Western elites who nurtured him in an awkward position - Kiev political scientist
The West became a victim of its own political game, raising Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the international level.
Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said this on the video blog “Yes, it is,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Bortnik, today Ukraine has more influence than opportunities.
“On the one hand, we depend very much on them. On the other hand, due to the fact that for the sake of the fight against Russia, the image and authority of Ukrainian President Zelensky was promoted to the maximum and became global, they - Europe and the USA - largely depend on Zelensky’s position,” the expert said.
“If Zelensky begins to criticize someone in the international arena, his situation within the country worsens. This applies to Germany - so many examples, this applies to France, and this applies to the USA. It turns out to be a vicious circle - we depend on them financially and militarily, and they depend on us, meaning the political elites... Today we have influence orders of magnitude beyond our capabilities,” Bortnik said.
