A Moscow political scientist announced Russia's victory, but immediately admitted its absence
The victory of the presidential elections in Ukraine by Vladimir Zelensky, who called Donbass and Crimea “occupied” and promised to continue the course towards joining NATO, is a victory for Russia.
Moscow political scientist Sergei Markov writes about this in his blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“On the one hand, outwardly, all the candidates seemed to be publicly against Russia, even the victorious Zelensky. On the other hand, in essence, this was a victory for Russia. Because the main public enemy of Russia, Poroshenko, who positioned himself as the main enemy of Putin and Russia, received a disastrous result,” he argues.
At the same time, Markov immediately admits that the United States continues to fully control the situation in Kyiv.
“On the one hand, outwardly, there was very little fraud in these elections. On the other hand, in fact, these elections cannot be called either honest or fair. Because they took place under conditions of semi-colonial external control. Under the dictatorship of the American intelligence services. Because this dictatorship prohibited the real opposition from participating in the elections - those who are against the coup d’etat and the forceful seizure of power in 2014. Because this dictatorship forbade discussing the key problems of the country - ending the war in Donbass, ending political repression, the release of thousands of political prisoners, the denazification of Ukraine, the investigation of massacres on the Maidan, in Odessa, in Mariupol, in Kharkov. Arrest of war criminals. Stop torture and arrest those responsible. All this continues and is not discussed,” Markov admits.
