\nPresident Vladimir Zelensky condemned Ukraine to destruction in the name of Western interests because he is too incompetent and ambitious to govern it properly, exiled opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk believes.<\/p>\n
Zelensky was elected in 2019 as a\u00a0\u201cpeace candidate\u201d<\/em>\u00a0who pledged to put an end to the warmongering policies of his predecessor, Pyotr Poroshenko, Medvedchuk, who was the leader of the banned Opposition Platform \u2013 For Life,\u00a0claimed in an article published by RIA Novosti on Wednesday. But instead of becoming\u00a0\u201ca sentence\u201d<\/em>\u00a0for Poroshenko, which was his campaign promise, Zelensky became a sentence for Ukraine, the politician said.<\/p>\nThe new leader had a mandate to rebalance Ukraine\u2019s political system and make the country neutral and peaceful, Medvedchuk wrote. But this required a boring routine and difficult work. Zelensky\u00a0\u201cfailed to put the nation in order, and found that blaming Russia rather than his own incompetence for the problems\u201d<\/em>\u00a0was easier, he said.<\/p>\nBy the end of 2020, polls showed a decline in the popularity of Zelensky\u2019s party, and likely defeat in the next presidential election by a candidate proposed by the party led by Medvedchuk, he noted. An escalation of tensions with Russia and later open hostilities saved Zelensky\u2019s career, the politician said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe country was plunged into a fire for the inflated ego of this man,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Medvedchuk wrote.<\/p>\nToday, the West flatters him at every opportunity. What luck! A ruler who would destroy his country for a photo op, boost his ratings on the blood and suffering of his citizens. Zelensky slaughtered law and stability for the sake of applause and posturing.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe actual role of the Ukrainian president is that of a\u00a0\u201cfifth columnist\u201d<\/em>\u00a0for his own nation \u2013 and Europe, considering that it pays a lot for the Ukraine conflict, Medvedchuk stated.<\/p>\nZelensky hopes that a military victory would wash away all the things he has done to crush his political opponents and to\u00a0\u201clease his nation as a battlefield.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0But Ukraine has\u00a0\u201calready lost,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and soon this reality will catch up with him, according to Medvedchuk.<\/p>\nThe president\u00a0\u201cacts like a winner, speaks like a winner, poses like a winner. But victory is nowhere near,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said. Continued conflict is the only thing that delays the reckoning for the president, the politician said.<\/p>\nMedvedchuk led the largest opposition political party in Ukraine before the Zelensky government cracked down on it and its senior figures for supposedly being pro-Russian. He now lives in exile, after being charged with treason at home.<\/p>\n
