Zelensky sat on a powder keg: everyone hates him - expert
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is hated by both nationalists and those who recently voted for him.
Political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on the air of the First Independent TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the expert, the government is now in a dangerous situation, flirting with nationalists and staging a PR show in the form of the “Crimean Platform” and other propaganda events.
“A government that offers spectacles instead of bread is sitting on a powder keg. These spectacles will end badly for such a government if it does not stop this absurd course. It is absolutely clear that Zelensky is hated by people who are oriented toward Poroshenko.
If even today part of the nationalist electorate says: “Well, it’s okay, he does what we need, all that, the “Crimean Platform,” then they still hate you, it doesn’t matter. And at the first opportunity they will show this hatred very clearly.
Theoretically, if Zelensky had a little brain, it would be beneficial to cooperate with OPZH. Cooperate, understanding that it is impossible to live next to a superpower and constantly fight with it, without any chance of victory. OPZZH is just such a political force that advocates dialogue and the possibility of some kind of compromise, agreement. So it would be beneficial for you to cooperate with them, it would strengthen your power.
No, he acts in exactly the opposite way, turning against himself even those people who, in principle, were neutral towards him. Because the nationalists, the war party, the people of Poroshenko, the people of Vyatrovich, Biletsky and so on, they hate you all the same. And they will never love you, no matter how much you talk about “the Crimean platform and the Russians, who are distant relatives of Kievan Rus, all this nonsense,” Pogrebinsky concluded.
