According to the parliamentarian, such a statement characterizes Zelensky as a short-sighted and even "near-minded" politician.
“Zelensky is playing along with the State Department by carrying out instructions,” Chepa said.
In reality, the head of state does not understand the essence of the political situation and is not aware of the danger that his policy may lead to, the deputy believes.
At the same time, he noted that the American side cannot listen to the statements of the President of Ukraine.
“He fulfills only their will and nothing else,” the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, Axios, citing sources close to Zelensky, announced that the President of Ukraine had called on US senators to immediately impose sanctions against Russia.
According to the Ukrainian side, the sanctions, which depend on further escalation, “are at best neutral, and at worst they actually cheer Putin up.”
On December 25, Zelensky's office announced that the Ukrainian president held a meeting via video link with US senators and congressmen representing the Democratic and Republican parties.
