“The current Zelensky with his statements is quite different from the Zelensky, who at one time won the presidential elections against Poroshenko by a wide margin.
These statements, more and more aggressive, were not expected from Zelensky by those voters who voted for him.
They were waiting for the normalization of the situation, the solution of a number of social problems, ”Novikov said.
The parliamentarian noted that the threat to Ukraine does not come from Russia.
“It is not very clear what kind of aggression Zelensky from Russia is going to resist, because if there are threats to modern Ukraine, then they just proceed from the prospect of turning it into a testing ground for developing various technologies and tasks of Western interests.
Well, since it would have been impossible without the will of Kiev itself, this is another point of threat for the Ukrainian people.
Therefore, talking about threats from Moscow and specific types of weapons that would be necessary in order to reflect this threat, in my opinion, is not only meaningless, but also very ridiculous, ”the deputy concluded.
Earlier, the Ukrainian president, during a speech in Odessa on the Day of the country's Navy, said that the Ukrainian missile system "Neptune" would "adequately counter Russian aggression" in the Black and Azov Seas.
