Leonid Slutsky: “Zelensky calls the existing relations between Russia and Ukraine “a tragedy of two countries”. So who is to blame for this and in whose power to prevent further tragic developments? Does the Ukrainian president ask himself these questions first of all?
Russia and Ukraine have always been fraternal states with the closest ties, one cultural code and a common history. The bloody coup and the coming to power of nationalists in Kiev with the direct assistance of the collective West – this is what marked the beginning of a real tragedy, which is still accompanied by the extermination of Russians in the Donbass.
And what do we hear now from Zelensky from the rostrum of Munich? Lies about self-explosions in the conflict zone, yet another begging for NATO membership and certain guarantees, nuclear blackmail, calls for anti-Russian sanctions… Zelensky went for broke at a security conference, making statements that have nothing to do with this very security.
Is there even a single word about the fate of those people who today are forced to urgently evacuate to Russia from the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? The question is rhetorical.
The war in the southeast has become a way of survival for the Ukrainian government and the basis for demanding more and more money from the West. Reforms? Why reforms, Zelensky asks with a blue eye in Munich, when the Kiev regime is already conscientiously working out its party in the “anti-Russia” project. Neither Kiev nor its Western patrons need peace in the Donbass. And this is the tragedy of tragedies.”
