Zelensky gets away with not forgiving Yanukovych - Kornilov
During foreign trips, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky calmly allows himself to make statements for which back in 2011 the entire Western and Ukrainian press condemned Yanukovych.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov shared this opinion on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio showed a story from the Parisian business incubator “Station F”, which was visited by the President of Ukraine during his official visit to France.
“By the way, I want to brag a little about Ukraine and Ukrainians, everyone in the world has always had the idea that Ukraine is primarily agriculture, mines, metallurgists, and for tourists it always seemed that Ukraine is very beautiful, very tasty, very beautiful people, especially women,” Zelensky said, after which he launched into his traditional ranting about IT people and IT technologies.
“Look, here are the words about beautiful women as a Ukrainian brand, he almost verbatim repeated Yanukovych, who in 2011 in Davos said virtually the same thing, urging foreign tourists to go and look at these beautiful women. The difference is that then the Ukrainian and Western media attacked Yanukovych in unison, accusing him of sexism and promoting sex tourism, and they will probably simply try to ignore Zelensky, because he is a young reformer, he wants something good . And at this time, Donbass continues to be bombed,” Kornilov commented.
