Pogrebinsky explained why Zelensky does not succeed where there is no need for a show
The Ukrainian delegation at the negotiations in Minsk on Donbass was formed from people close in views to radical nationalists; Vladimir Zelensky did not have the personnel reserve to appoint negotiators adequate to the situation.
Ukrainian political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on TV channel 112, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio showed a fragment of the speech of the representative of Ukraine in the working subgroup on political issues of the TCG, Alexey Reznikov.
“It is impossible to hold elections if the Ukrainian border with Russia is not controlled by the Ukrainian government, this is evidenced by international experience. The Ukrainian delegation will insist that at least in this part the Minsk agreements are subject to revision and updating,” said the Ukrainian representative.
“I’ve known Alexei Reznikov for a long time, and if Zelensky’s team asked me whether you would find a common language, whether he would implement your plans to end hostilities, I would say that, of course, not. This is a person with a philosophy that is close to the philosophy of Vyatrovich, Poroshenko and so on. Maybe he is more intelligent, but the meaning of his position is the same,” Pogrebinsky commented.
“This is a general problem with Zelensky’s government, when people who, it would seem, should have been part of his team, for example, the foreign minister or a representative in the contact group, they must receive instructions from the president of Ukraine and clearly act in accordance with them,” he added. expert.
