Zelensky will have a hard time in the battle with Poroshenko for Biden’s patronage - Suslov
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky never met with Trump and has already congratulated Biden on his victory, because he believes that he should please the new president.
Viktor Suslov, former Minister of Economy of Ukraine, stated this on the NEWSONE TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Vladimir Alexandrovich really wants to please Washington. But the question is – which Washington? The meeting with Trump, which Zelensky had been planning for a whole year, never took place. Let me remind you that Zelensky was one of the first to recognize Biden as President of the United States and congratulated him. Everyone noticed this. And Trump, of course, will not talk to Zelensky under these conditions.
So we must wait for the inauguration in January next year - the US policy and position towards Ukraine will become more clear. Then we will see whether Biden likes Zelensky.
We know that our former President Poroshenko believes that Biden really likes him. Many say that if Poroshenko receives serious support from the Biden administration, Zelensky will have a hard time,” said Viktor Suslov.
