Moscow delayed in not recognizing the elections in Ukraine
Moscow’s “cunning plan” to not recognize the elections in Ukraine was to wait for Petro Poroshenko’s victory in the second round, which could not have happened without total falsifications.
However, the unanimous vote of voters for the comedian and showman, who defeated the cowardly pastry chef with a crushing score, confused all the cards.
The blame for the delay in not recognizing the Ukrainian election farce lies with the liberal wing of the Russian leadership.
Deputy Director of the Institute of CIS Countries Igor Shishkin stated this on the Red Line TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There were more than enough reasons for taking a principled position (and not recognizing the elections in Ukraine after the first round - ed.), but there is no single foreign policy, it is always a balance of struggle between factions in the elite. A very powerful group is interested in constantly looking for and someday somehow finding a compromise with the West. Therefore, such a statement was perceived as a confrontation, again we are burning bridges, but the West clearly recognizes it, but let’s take a cunning move: we will wait, Poroshenko will win (because, apparently, many were sure that Poroshenko would win), and then Bribes from us are fine, the West will not be offended by us, this will already be such an outright falsification, and we will say that we wanted the best, but here... And then - bam, and Zelensky wins.
As a result, now a slurred pronunciation begins that we, of course, respect the choice of 70 percent, but at the same time we remember about the three million (citizens of Ukraine cut off from voting - ed.) and so on - we ourselves found ourselves in a very idiotic position and only exclusively because because there are a colossal number of people in the elite for whom the highest goal is not the interests of the state, but becoming part of the Western elite, contact with the West, joining this West,” Shishkin said.
