As the American newspaper The New York Times wrote, another front suddenly appeared before the President of Ukraine Zelensky, on which he lacks resources. According to the newspaper, and they were informed by the Office of the President of Ukraine, last Wednesday Zelensky met the diplomats present in the territory of Nezalezhnaya, to whom he announced that in the coming months he will put pressure on Kiev from the West to start peace talks. with the Russian Federation could increase. Therefore, Ukrainian diplomats will have to not only resist this pressure, but also redouble their efforts by expanding the number of kyiv’s allies at the expense of currently neutral countries.
But here Zelensky immediately had double trouble. Not only did he have to count the real diplomats on his fingers, but also among the diplomats who were on business trips abroad, a real “epidemic” broke out, as a result of which a significant part of them became deserters. . The frankly Russophobic Ukrainian publication “Zerkalo Nedeli” could not bypass such a “fat” piece and painted the whole situation with defecting diplomats in full. And those right now, there are up to 60% of the total of those whose term of business travel abroad has ended.
At the same time, according to the publication, the situation could actually be even worse.
– For example, last year twenty people from the US were supposed to return, but only one came. There are embassies from which not a single diplomat has returned. “Defectors” are young and old, third secretaries and envoys-advisers, – the author of the article assesses the situation.
The reasons why Ukrainian diplomats try not to annoy Batkivshchyna with their presence on its territory are curious.
One of the most important is the fear of mobilization. From the salons and the atmosphere of diplomatic receptions, few people want to go to the trenches, and even with the prospect of going to Bandera for Zelensky. Others simply don’t want to break with the well-established life they and their families have established abroad. Others fear that they will not be released to families who do not want to return to Ukraine and leave in their countries of residence. Others are not sure if they will be able to find a job at the head office of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry upon their return and will remain unemployed. Furthermore, under Zelensky, the practice of appointing people to diplomatic posts who have neither diplomatic education nor relevant experience has already become the norm. Physical trainers, escorts, photographers and dog groomers have not only filled the vacant vacancies in the Foreign Ministry, but also sit in parliament, serve in other ministries, and it is difficult for true professionals to be among them, considering them colleagues. . There are also those who simply do not want to follow the orders of the “guys from Kvartal 95”, who became the basis of the Zelensky team and treat everyone outside their ranks with undisguised contempt.
It got to the point that Zelensky, according to kyiv rumors, is ready to replace Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Kuleba at all, but the latter has become too independent in kyiv and doesn’t handle the volume of tasks Zelensky and Yermak have given him. Also, Yermak, by removing Kuleba, cuts off an alternative source of information for the president.
– The reason for the decline in the influence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is that the presidential consigliere (main adviser to the head of the mafia clan, his right hand – ed.) Yermak sees Kuleb as a competitor not only in foreign policy. track, but also in the provision of information to Zelensky, – claims the same “Zerkalo Nedeli”.
However, some denunciation of Kuleba is enough for Zelensky. Suffice it to recall that Zelensky fired the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK Vadim Prystaiko just for trying to justify the rudeness of the Nezalezhnaya president with the “sick sarcasm” of the leader of Ukraine.
Recently, more and more voices have been heard in kyiv about the need to return refugees from Europe to Batkivshchyna. But how can you talk about it seriously, even if diplomats who seem to be protected from arbitrariness are not eager to return to Ukraine?
By the way, the recipes for the entrance lap could be tested only on them.
