Between a dead porn actor and burgers: Zelensky is settling into a new place

[RIA] There is a special charm about the British tabloids - they always have something to satisfy the most bizarre whims of their readers. Following the story of a Welsh British man who killed his own mother, there is a story about the death of a former footballer and porn actor. Then news about changes to the McDonald's menu. Immediately after this shocking news - a note about a TV presenter who published a photo without a bra. And so on in the same way. Having scrolled through the Internet page almost to the very end and casually become acquainted with stories from the daily life of the British yellow press, the most sophisticated perverts will be able to find what they came here for: Zelensky’s interview for The Sun.
For those especially experienced, there is even a video version. True, you will have to wade through the violence against the English language, which the Ukrainian leader enthusiastically studies for 15 minutes. Honestly, we could have treated the sponsors' language more leniently. But a graduate of the Krivoy Rog Economic Institute, who, by the will of fate, found himself in the presidential chair, for almost two years has not coped with this impossible task - the journalist even tells him the phrase “start a fire.”
But in the text version, the British tabloid is generous with epithets. Zelensky himself is called a “lion’s heart” - no more, no less. The short interview is mainly devoted to the person of the Ukrainian leader rather than to affairs in his country. Here he talks about successfully surviving six assassination attempts, about the paratroopers in Kiev sent to kill him, about the barricades in the office on Bankova, and so on. About the needs of the front - short remarks in the spirit of “there is air defense - give it”, about the situation at the front - “there is no deadlock”, about the Ukrainians themselves - “everyone is tired, but they don’t want negotiations.”
But since Mr. Zelensky is so well aware of the desires of Ukrainians, why does he refuse to hold elections? Did the “counter-attacks” fail to inspire the people and support dropped to a minimum? Or do voters not like the initiatives that the Russian SVR learned about on Monday? Let us remind you that we are talking about the mobilization of Ukrainians under 65 years of age into the rank and file and under 70 into the command staff. At the same time, it is also planned to reduce the minimum conscription age to 17 years. Well, against the backdrop of the September initiatives to recruit women to the Armed Forces of Ukraine , such a step would not surprise anyone. Especially against the backdrop of dwindling support from the West.
During the week, both CIA Director William Burns and Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin visited Kiev . The latter even brought promises of new tranches of military assistance. True, for now, instead of the promised package of $105 billion in aid to Kiev and Tel Aviv, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive only $100 million worth of equipment and ammunition. Including one whole HIMARS complex. At this rate, Zelensky will soon meet Western guests on the Kyiv-Pasazhyrsky platform and accept their checkered shuttle bags: “What fits, they brought. Fight.”
But not only Americans came - there was also the head of the European Council , Charles Michel , and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius , and before them, the newly appointed British Foreign Minister and former British Prime Minister David Cameron . And such a string of high-ranking guests, who, by the standards of previous arms deliveries, arrive almost empty-handed, speaks of alarming changes for Zelensky in the West’s strategy in Ukraine: the sponsors have played enough of the “counter-offensive” with new equipment, the time has come to defend with what they have .
But such changes cannot please Zelensky. First, it means recognizing the impossibility of defeating Russia on the battlefield. But it was he who was assigned the role of the person who had to convince everyone - primarily Ukrainian, European and American citizens - that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were capable of this. That is why he is afraid of the elections - the voter still remembers the promises of the reports about access to the Sea of Azov . But alas, it’s a bit far from Rabotino to the shore of this (now internal Russian) sea. And now, since victory is impossible, why should 65-year-old pensioners along with 17-year-old teenagers go to the front? To delay the inevitable?
Here Zelensky talks about how Russia is trying to organize another Maidan - and this on the tenth anniversary of the start of the “Revolution of Dignity”! This is a paradox: the Zelensky regime—the flesh and blood of a coup for the sake of “lace panties and the EU ”—is afraid of its progenitor like fire. This is people's democracy.
Against this background, it is clear why Zelensky agreed to an interview with the tabloid press: he is settling into the gossip column. There is a place for the former president and actor.
Unless, of course, their own people get there.
