Could Vladimir Zelensky will do more grotesque, ridiculous and unwise thing than to appoint Saakashvili Deputy Prime Minister? The President seems to have managed. More crazy thing than to appoint the former leader of Georgia to his government is the first to offer him a high position, and then pull the question on the brakes, pretending that nothing had happened.
do not Misunderstand me. I for Saakashvili not the least bit insulting. On an emotional level I was even very pleased that this scammers world level lit like a goof and left out in the cold. But to draw far-reaching conclusions should be made based on logic, not emotions. But logic in this case, unfortunately, suggests that the fiasco did not take place“, Deputy Prime Minister for reform” confirms the lightness Zelensky as a political leader.
was there a boy? A week ago, Mikhail Saakashvili officially announced that it accepts with joy offered to him by the President of Ukraine the post of Deputy Prime Minister. It would seem that this should have been followed by a handshake between the two politicians in front of TV cameras, making the candidacy of ex-President of Georgia to the Parliament and its triumphant assertion of the controlling votes of the Parliament of the party Zelensky.
But nothing like this has not happened yet. Instead, political Kiev hung a strange silence. So, maybe Saakashvili was a dream and no such office Zelensky he was not offered? Either. Of the many leaks in the Ukrainian mass media informed, it follows that the offer is still there.
So what’s then? From the same leak, it follows that in the campaign of sabotage, which gave the unhappy prospect of joining Saakashvili in their slender ranks of prominent figures from the environment Zelensky. As they say, the appearance of such explosive and restless does not want Deputy Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal.
again I say, against Saakashvili’s appointment as speaker is the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov, and many other deputies from Pro-presidential faction. Mention dissatisfaction with the grey cardinal of the Ukrainian policy, the permanent Minister of internal Affairs Arsen Ivkova I have never met. But it probably also implied. Well, all this is evidence that at least someone in the official Kiev has a head on his shoulders — someone, but not the President Zelensky.
Anyone who is seriously involved in politics, instinctively understand: if you want to do something important, you first need to consider every angle and to calculate the consequences. And then either you do or you don’t. Farcical situation with Saakashvili’s appointment shows that Zelensky this basic principle of political management or not familiar, or at least m��re not close. Unless it was impossible to calculate in advance what the return of Saakashvili at the Ukrainian government will cause a flurry of discontent among influential people in Kiev and Tbilisi? However, no, the question in the previous sentence was worded incorrectly. That’s how it should be: how could you not count that such an appointment would cause a very strong resistance?
At this point the unwinding chain of logic I can rightly ask: what are you, my dear, so worried for Zelensky and Saakashvili? Answer: Yes no I worry for them! Worried about the prospect of normalization of Russian-Ukrainian relations. As I have already mentioned, in order for this normalization is made possible, in Kyiv there should be a strong leader. A leader who is able to calculate the evolution of the situation on some steps forward, not afraid to accept and take responsibility for unpopular decisions and can, if necessary, quickly and harshly to suppress the “mutiny on his ship.” And how showed Zelensky in the situation with the appointment of Saakashvili? As a politician, having the opposite set of qualities.
it Turns out that the President of Ukraine is not able to control their own parliamentary faction. It turns out that he is not able to calculate the consequences of their actions, even not a few, but only one move ahead. The question is: is it possible with the presence in Kiev of such flimsy leader to talk seriously about the withdrawal of Russian-Ukrainian relations out of the deadlock?
There are, however, version, it allows to interpret the actions Zelensky in a more favorable light. Respected Ukrainian Internet-edition Stranaya gives the following version of Tainstvennogo source: “Saakashvili, in fact, a role for Zelensky has played. The story of his appointment was the smokescreen that allowed quietly to withdraw Nurlanova and Nefedov as head of tax and customs”.
But the elephant we have not noticed! For obvious reasons, we in Russia very much fixated on Saakashvili. However, only narrow specialists in Moscow drew attention to the change of such important for the Ukrainian elite figures as heads of customs and tax services. If this version is fair, some of my criticisms Zelensky must be removed.
the President of Ukraine — not a boy who knows what he’s doing. The President of Ukraine — is a sophisticated political schemer, who has already excelled in the art of the con and bases. But whether this improves the prospects of Russian-Ukrainian relations? Enumerating the qualities that should possess the potential to improve these relations, the leader of Ukraine, I “forgot” to mention such a thing as reliability and faithfulness to his word. But in fact that track��em to start.
that passion official Kiev wiring and the bases poisoned his relations with Moscow, led to a catastrophic outcome for the relations between the two States 2014. That is a pathological inability Petro Poroshenko to keep his word made him persona non grata in the eyes of the Kremlin. If Vladimir Zelensky will go the same way as its predecessor, in the relations between Russia and Ukraine should not expect positive developments. Alas, it seems that this scenario becomes the basis for the contacts of two former fraternal States during the reign of President Zelensky. The story of the appointment of Saakashvili became the leader of Ukraine’s unexpected political test, a test which, from whatever side you look, he is hopelessly fails.
