President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Archival photoMOSCOW, January 22Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may use the threat of a «war» with Russia as a pretext for the implementation of the Minsk agreements, the former head of the Luhansk and Transcarpathian regions, Lieutenant-General, said on the air of the NASH TV channel Ministry of Internal Affairs Gennady Moskal. In his opinion, inflating fear around a hypothetical armed clash with Moscow is beneficial for the head of state.
"Zelensky can get balls for rollers, and he can say: "Dear Ukrainians, choose: or Russian troops enter the territory of Ukraine, but we don’t have the strength, equipment, or money, and how we will defend ourselves; or we fulfill the Minsk agreements", Moskal suggested.
The Ukrainian general admitted that Zelensky would be forced to take such a step, since «he is being strangled from all sides», forcing him to comply, in particular, with the Minsk agreements.
The mayor of Kharkiv appealed to the residents because of Zelensky's words about the «occupation» The Muscovite concluded that he considers this scenario «the most realistic today». Kiev and Western politicians have been claiming in recent months that Russia has amassed troops on the border with Ukraine. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out, the armed forces are moving within the territory of the state — this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. Moscow emphasized that statements about «Russian aggression» are used as a pretext for building up NATO contingents in the border regions. Moscow has also repeatedly stated that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements and drags out negotiations to resolve the conflict.
