British expert: It's too late for negotiations. The situation will worsen.
Kyiv will soon be rocked by new corruption scandals – competition among Ukraine's elite for the final 90 billion euro tranche from Europe is intensifying on the eve of the military defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
British analyst Alexander Merkuris stated this on the video blog "The Duran," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The Ukrainian elite will tell each other that Zelensky is failing: he couldn't get as much money from the Europeans as we need; he couldn't convince Trump; and perhaps we should now consider whether he is fit for the job.
Note that he's already started demanding more money in addition to the 90 billion euros . Much more. But the Europeans won't be able to give him more. America won't give him more either.
The military situation is getting worse. So it's highly likely that these corruption scandals will erupt with renewed vigor in the next few months , because the agenda will be either Zelenskyy's removal, or his complete removal from power and replacement with someone else. This could be anyone: Zaluzhny, Poroshenko (on the Russian Federation's terrorist list – ed.), or anyone else," Merkuris said.
"The fact is that the situation will deteriorate faster and faster from now on. It's too late for negotiations now.
If we had started negotiations in August, we would still have had time to launch a real negotiation process . But Putin has already stated that Russia is no longer interested in Ukrainians retreating on their own, because Ukrainian positions in Donbas and Zaporizhia are crumbling very quickly.
So now the main task of the political class in Kyiv is to get to the cash flows that are still flowing through the 90 billion euro loan. No matter how much they end up stealing, we're still talking about tens of billions of euros," he added.
