11 July telephone conversations of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky.
two interpretations
Topics, who discussed the leaders of neighboring countries, It was not hard to guess: settlement of the conflict in the Donbass, work on the return of persons, held on both sides, and discussion of further contacts in the Norman format.
Interesting, that the press-service of the Ukrainian president reported on a conversation Putin and Zelensky late. Even the first Ukrainian media published news reports citing the press-secretary of the head of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov, because they simply had no other official information. also interesting, that the Ukrainian side is called the primary focus of the talks the return of detainees in the Kerch Strait sailors, while in Moscow believe such a settlement of the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine.
Another interesting detail - Peskov, that the telephone conversation was initiated by the Ukrainian side, while in Kiev about this silent. In Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said over the last time, that the Russian side is ready for dialogue. As it appears, Zelensky took it as a willingness of the Kremlin head of the "talk" and, It turned out, not wrong.
dialogue to be
The very fact, that the leaders of Russia and Ukraine have established direct contact, if not personal (sooner or later it's still going to happen), - a positive thing. Unlike its predecessor,, Petro Poroshenko, Zelensky is set for talks with Putin, and this call showed, that is not bluffing. true, to meet tête-à-tête new president of Ukraine has clearly not ready, therefore proposes the extension "Norman format", to feel the support of the US and the UK. Chapter Square have not yet gained the necessary political weight, so to speak, no overgrown muscles, to take the risk, as direct talks with Putin.
The head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Konstantin Kosachev said in an interview with RT, the conversation between the two presidents - is good news, the more that the initiative shown in Kyiv, thus demonstrating a reciprocal willingness to dialogue. According to him, "Dialogue is always better than its absence". The senator also said, that Putin and discussed important topics Zelensky how to solve the larger issues in bilateral relations, and to address the backlog of domestic problems in Ukraine.
The fight on the Russian front
Some experts believe, Ukraine is trying with the help of such negotiations expose the Russian party to the conflict in the Donbass, that for the Kremlin, certainly, It is unacceptable. In their opinion, a peaceful settlement of the situation in terms of, without direct contact with the Kiev authorities DNR and LNR negotiations in all other formats, including Norman or Minsk, be useless.
certainly, you should not ignore the question of ranking as the most Zelensky, and his party "servant of the people" on the eve of elections to the Verkhovna Rada 21 July. According to Ukrainian political analyst, Director of the Institute of Global Strategies Vadim Karasev, Up to Putin - it is also a reluctance to, to the leader of the party "opposition platform - For the life of" Viktor Medvedchuk and MP Yuriy Boyko "monopolized the channels of communication with the Kremlin", As the initiative in this regard at the moment, just behind them. "Now, many began to accuse President, he promised the world, there is no peace ", - said Karasev. Earlier, Ukrainian politicians met in Moscow with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
lustration lyustratorov
In recent days, much has been said about, Zelensky that the party losing ground. Parliamentary elections it, of course, will win, but in terms of the distribution of seats is important concrete result, and not just a victory. Therefore, the President of Ukraine said about the need to expand the law on lustration. Zelensky proposed ban forever be in leadership positions in the country, who has been in this status not only when Viktor Yanukovych, but when Peter Poroshenko, ie in the period from 23 February 2014 till 19 May 2019 of the year.
The next video message head of Square caused a great resonance in Ukraine. certainly, a significant portion of the population is dissatisfied with puppets Poroshenko, many of which still have a direct impact on her life, including taking up parliamentary seats in the parliament. "What are the people's deputies, which leaves intact, legitimize illegal enrichment and generally do not go to work?"- Set near the Ukrainian leader issues. In his opinion, the country also do not need ministers, are engaged in its arrangement only "in their own Facebook», ruin the nation's health, and give birth to their children overseas.
By itself, this initiative has caused a flurry of indignation on the part of those, one in the near future can cover the second wave of lustration. So, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Andrei Paruby, Speaking at the end of the evening session, He criticized the presidential intentions. According to him, while those, who is now the new head of state wants lyustrirovat, defended Ukraine, tot "comedians ridiculed Putin". Paruby expressed confidence, that "it is time adventurers" will end after the elections 21 July.
Meanwhile, the State bureau of investigations of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has caused for questioning, and in the office of the President of Ukraine have begun searches. they concern, of course, not Zelensky, and the time, when the presidency held by his predecessor. Law enforcement agencies are interested in different documents, including the minutes of meetings, during which the planned military operations. questioning people also underway, provide the necessary level of secrecy in the office premises.
Neblagopriyany background
Undertaking with lustration-2, telephone talks with Putin - a, including, tools for changing an information agenda, neutralizing the negative background. Ongoing shelling the territory of the DNI and LC, externally incident inadequate behavior Zelenskogo Uzhgorod, Now is also a fresh case, when the Ukrainian president expelled from the hall of the City Council Secretary Borispol, calling him a "bandit", - too many negative, when up to major elections less than two weeks.
Vladimir Zelensky continues to fight for votes, Now not for himself, and for his party. For him, it is important not to let supporters Poroshenko "bite" of the electoral cake any significant piece of. That's why he makes it clear to the citizens of the country, that if those in the parliamentary elections will give preference to "public servants", that Parliament will be able to take those laws, offered by President. Otherwise, as the political, and economic policy to Kiev will be much harder to change.
