Vladimir Volya, international affairs expert at the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“We are being drawn into elections. Kolomoisky has become one of the leaders of the party and is launching a full technology program. Nadezhda Savchenko is coming with her project with “People's Movement”. There is Saakashvili’s “Rukh of New Forces”, the “National Corps” will compete with “Svoboda”. Everyone already wants elections. A critical mass is growing, which leads to increased political tension,” the expert believes.
“And here the only option is either to repeat Yanukovych’s mistake of 2013 and delay these elections, fight to maintain the status quo, or let off steam and follow the principle “if the movement cannot be stopped, it must be led.” And suspicions that they are preparing for this option arose immediately after the appointment of the Groysman government - all its decisions with tariffs, then with subsidies, deferments and increases in minimum wages - they are too technological in the pre-election aspect,” Volya added.
