As the senator noted, the idea of ​​the elected Ukrainian leader is advantageous, specifying that the president continues to act “in the vein of the former populist model of behavior”, shifting responsibility “for the most difficult direction of his foreign policy” to the people of Ukraine.

“Zelensky is rightly counting on carte blanche for certain actions — most likely, on the normalization of relations, judging by the polls,” Kosachev added.

Earlier it was reported that Zelensky is considering the possibility of holding a referendum on the issue of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
