“Kyiv, Vienna and Warsaw are filled with negotiators promising “Kremlin carrots”
The new President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, allegedly wants to give citizens the right to capitulate to Russia.
The editor-in-chief of the Kyiv weekly “Zerkalo Nedeli” Yulia Mostovaya writes about this on the pages of her publication.
"There's no need to pull the tiger by the whiskers and then hide behind the people at a referendum, relegating the right to signing a capitulation to them. I, like everyone else, see the results of sociological surveys on relations with and toward Russia , and, frankly, as a citizen, they don't make me happy," the author admits. "But the president was elected to make decisions. And it's better for him to feel bad than for the people to feel sick, who might be horrified by the results of their own expression of will."
According to her, Russian President Vladimir Putin “is in no hurry to close the topic of the war in Donbass.”
"He hasn't yet gotten what he wanted—a tame Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian businesses are rushing to approach the new Ukrainian government with proposals that bypass the hated bottleneck of Medvedchuk. Kyiv, Vienna, and Warsaw are already filled with negotiators promising mountains of gold for new schemes for supplying gas, coal, and oil from Russia to Ukraine," Mostovaya asserts. "Gingerbread stalls against the backdrop of the Kremlin's exhibition of whips. The new president still has to figure all this out. And Boris Shefir's uncompromising 'business only' approach is completely unsuitable for relations with Russia."
As PolitNavigator reported, Presidential Chief of Staff Andriy Bohdan stated that Zelenskyy's team is considering the possibility of submitting the issue of reaching a peace agreement with Russia regarding the war in Donbas to a national referendum.
True, it was later clarified that the possible referendum on Donbass would not include questions of its autonomy or special status.
