According to him, at the beginning of his presidency, Zelensky advocated a peaceful resolution of the situation in Donbas.
“This would mean a kind of federalization of Ukraine with the granting of a certain autonomy to the Donbass, which is what they wanted.
Something like Switzerland or Belgium.
Zelensky was prevented from doing so by right-wing militias who threatened to kill him if he insisted," Chomsky said in an interview with Nation magazine.
He noted that the United States did not support the Ukrainian leader in this situation.
Earlier, Zelensky told the leaders of the G7 (G7) countries that now is “not the time for negotiations.”
