SIMFEROPOL, December 20 Senator from the Crimean region, member of the international Federation Council Committee Sergei Tsekov said that Vladimir Zelensky’s reluctance to negotiate with Russia is an excuse; in fact, he is driven by the fear of losing Western support and money.
Earlier, Zelensky said during a press conference that the issue of negotiations with Russia to resolve the conflict is not relevant now.
«All these are excuses and frivolous arguments. Zelensky is afraid of ending the military conflict and returning peace to Ukraine. For him, this will mean a personal loss in terms of deprivation of Western support and money,» Tsekov said. In his opinion, Zelensky should not fool the Ukrainian people with words about the relevance of certain negotiations, but frankly tell the true reason for his statements.
“Zelensky understands that he may lose a good source of income in a military conflict, and the fate and aspirations of the Ukrainian people, and especially the national interests of Ukraine itself, are the last thing he cares about,” the senator emphasized.
