Putin warned Zelensky about the rake
The new President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, begins his journey by repeating the mistakes of his predecessor Petro Poroshenko.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this at the Eastern Economic Forum, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
This is how the Russian leader answered the question of whether he had seen President Zelensky’s statement that the “Opposition Platform – For Life” is a party with foreign funding.
“I have not seen this statement, but if it was, it means that the current authorities in Kyiv risk stepping on the same rake that the previous Ukrainian leadership in the person of the former president, Mr. Poroshenko, stepped on. If today's government starts persecuting the opposition, then nothing good will come of it.
This, as I imagine, is a parliamentary opposition that has the trust of a significant number of voters, confirmed in the course of democratic elections and voting. Therefore, it would be strange if the screws were tightened in this sense. They do not run around the squares, do not demand the impossible, they work within the framework of the Constitution of Ukraine, within the framework of the current law. And in my opinion, it would be a big mistake if attempts were made to interfere with the implementation of their constitutional rights,” Putin said.
