Zelensky burns bridges and triggers an escalation scenario
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky opened a “Pandora’s box”, signing a broadcast ban TV channels 112, NewsOne and ZIK, which are associated with Verkhovna Rada deputy, one of the leaders of the OPZZh party Viktor Medvedchuk.
Political scientist Yuri Romanenko stated this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Undoubtedly, this decision will have far-reaching consequences, because it is obvious that it will lead to a very serious round of tension in Ukraine, because Medvedchuk and OPZZH will now play to raise the stakes and will try to mobilize their electorate. Russia will probably stand up for Medvedchuk. And Zelensky, I don’t know how much he realizes what he has done, he has crossed a kind of Rubicon, since it will not be possible to win back the situation, he is, in fact, signing an unambiguous bond with the Americans.
Then you will need to press the gas pedal all the way, because it will no longer be possible to loop. It is obvious that this situation will lead to an escalation of tensions in Donbass. Moreover, we saw that both sides committed actions that showed dissatisfaction with Minsk...
I am sure that he does not fully understand what processes he has launched, and that these processes can directly lead to his downfall, and he will end up the way Goloborodko ended up in the first or second season, when he lost power. Here it may be exactly the same, because this is the launch of a new wave of socio-political and economic crisis, transferring it to a more severe plane. Zelensky does not have many resources for maneuver, in order to feel in a stable position,” Romanenko said.
