“In terms of the degree of hostility of his statements, Zelensky has already overtaken (ex-President of Ukraine Peter – approx. “Lenta.ru” ) Poroshenko and is approaching (ex-speaker of the Rada Alexander – approx. “Lenta.ru”) Turchinov, who threatened with an atomic bomb, “Panina said.
The parliamentarian considered Zelensky’s words about mobilization a cynical calculation, suggesting that the Ukrainian president is trying to convince the elected US president Joe Biden ,” what could be even more anti-Russian than his odious rival “Poroshenko.
“Words are always followed by deeds, and Zelensky has gone too far in his anti-Russian improvisations,” concluded Panina.
