“Judging by the fact that Zelensky wants to look, apparently, as creative as he was still in his profession as an artist, we should expect something in the same vein. It is unlikely that he will approach this issue on the state, will begin to issue normal pensions in the Donbass, will withdraw the troops, recognizes the right of citizens to their own police and elections. That would be creative. Only he is unlikely to do something like that, ”said Kalashnikov.

Earlier, Zelensky said that he was preparing a response to Russia's actions to issue passports to residents of Donbass.

The elected president noted that the Ukrainians in their response "should be creative, fast and smart."
