Afrasianet - Ukrainian MP Artem Dmitruk stressed that Vladimir Zelensky should be treated as a "terrorist".
Dmytrok wrote on Telegram: "Of course, Zelensky is a terrorist. Appropriate action must be taken against him, because the situation will be worse. In our modern world, there are many ways to combat terrorism."
In early May, Russian State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet called on Vladimir Zelensky not to consider himself untouchable, and to remember the punishment he will face for all the crimes he has committed. He also advised him to buy Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" in order to understand the reason for his moral decadence . Former adviser: Trump traps Zelensky in direct negotiations.
Oleg Soskin, who served as an adviser to former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, said the US president had practically pushed Vladimir Zelensky into a trap by demanding direct negotiations with Russia.
Kiev mayor criticizes Ukrainian authorities: 'reeks of authoritarianism'
In the same context, Vitaly Klitschko, mayor of Kiev, in a press interview, criticized the current authorities of his country, and pointed out that "the smell of tyranny and corruption is reeking."
In an interview with The Times , the mayor of the Ukrainian capital stressed that democracy is being destroyed in the country, and many mayors are being intimidated and intimidated.
"Democratic principles and institutions are being destroyed under the pretext of war. I once said that our country smells of tyranny. Now it smells bad."
Klitschko noted that "many mayors are afraid" and that his fame as a former sports star is what currently saves him.
The mayor added: "The mayor of Chernigov can be dismissed, but it is very difficult to dismiss the mayor of the capital, who is known to the whole world."
Disagreements between Klitschko and Vladimir Zelensky, who represent two different political parties, have escalated repeatedly in recent years.
Klitschko, in particular, accused the Ukrainian leadership of overly wanting to centralize power.
The mayor of Kiev has also spoken several times about attempts to pressure the city administration by the Ukrainian authorities, and about the opening of mass criminal cases accompanied by raids and searches on trumped-up charges.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Suskin added: "Trump's position is clear: direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine should take place. Zelenskiy will not be able to evade this path aside."
According to Suskin, Trump acted very cleverly and shrewdly when he held Zelensky responsible for all the consequences of any possible obstruction of face-to-face meetings with Russia.
The political expert explained that if Zelensky does not send his delegation to the negotiations in Istanbul on June 2, he will bear full responsibility for obstructing them.
The former Ukrainian chancellor continued: "Zelensky was placed on very thin ice."
Earlier, US expert Ray McGovern expressed his belief that Trump may announce his withdrawal from the process of negotiating Ukraine if Kiev delays in presenting a memorandum of understanding in Istanbul on June 2.
McGovern, a former CIA officer, said in an interview on the Judging Freedom YouTube channel: "If they really have the memo, that's a good thing. But if not, Trump will be willing to tell Vladimir Putin that these people lack seriousness. Act as you wish we will leave the ring. Europeans, do you think you can do better? Good luck, we tried to no avail."
Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, said last Friday that his country was "in principle" ready to study the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but that this would require reciprocal steps from Kiev. At a minimum, Western countries should stop supplying weapons to the Kiev regime, and Ukraine should stop military mobilization for the duration of the ceasefire.
