Zolotarev: Zelensky will have to try to keep Biden from falling asleep
Moscow
At the upcoming negotiations between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine, Kyiv may be required to transfer the Ukrainian gas transportation system to American control.
Kiev political scientist Andrei Zolotarev told Izvestia about this, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, Vladimir Zelensky will have to make efforts to prevent Joe Biden from dozing off during the conversation.
“During the negotiations, we may talk about the fate of the Ukrainian gas transportation system. The US leadership may set a condition: the gas transportation system is transferred to American companies, in exchange Washington will lobby for the extension of the contract for the transportation of Russian gas through Ukraine,” the expert does not rule out.
“The most important thing for Zelensky is whether the Americans will agree on his candidacy for a second term. If Washington does not support the current president, then the opposition may begin to rock the situation, and the threat of a new Maidan will arise. If the Americans agree, then the protests will not reach a threatening scale,” Zolotarev believes.
