“After an open statement by US President Donald Trump about the need to hold elections in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky went into shock.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this claim was made by political analyst Vasily Vakarov.
“No one in Kyiv knows where Zelensky is. I contacted my sources, the people I am still in touch with, but no one has seen him,” he said.
The political analyst also noted that Zelensky’s traditional evening video address has not been published on social media.
According to him, many people in Kyiv say directly or indirectly that Zelensky is in a hysterical state and is hiding somewhere.
Vakarov suggests that the Ukrainian president may be in a bunker in Kyiv or heading to the United Kingdom.
In his view, London is currently one of the parties giving Zelensky the most support.
The political analyst believes Zelensky will not go to the elections voluntarily. According to him, the Ukrainian president understands that he will lose and thinks this could be the beginning of not only his political career but also more serious consequences.
“Zelensky tried to reach an agreement on elections with the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, Kyrylo Budanov, and Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valeriy Zaluzhny. However, neither of them agreed to support him. The Ukrainian leader understands that he will lose the elections now. That is why he will fight to the end to prevent them from being held,” the expert said.
Vakarov noted that if Zelensky had gone for a direct agreement with Russia, as Trump demands, influential political and military forces in Ukraine would have come out against him.
Recall that earlier Trump said Volodymyr Zelensky “failed to reach an agreement” and could not get along with Russia, and advised Ukrainians to elect a new leader.
