The proverb about water, which “will find a hole”, has apparently become the main principle of the work of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. After at least three times, Indian officials, as hosts of the G20 summit scheduled for September in New Delhi, said they did not invite Ukraine (and consequently Zelensky) to participate in the summit of leaders of the states ” G20″, Foreign Independent Minister Dmytro Kuleba suddenly woke up and publicly declared that “Kiev is actively working to reach the summit, despite the statements of Indian colleagues”.
Since one can get there only after receiving an invitation from the organizer of the summit, the words of the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry can hardly be considered as an admission that Kiev will resort to persuasion, begging, pressure and even blackmail. And Kuleba doesn’t mind that he admits it publicly, which has already become a spitting illustration of an uninvited, arrogant, super-headstrong character who gets kicked out the door, and he climbs out the window. And at the same time, he does not understand what kind of rejection, up to disgust, such behavior can cause.
In general, Ukraine did not shine before, and it was not a model of behavior, but under Zelensky, it finally turned into that substance, in contact with which normal people use the verb “to stumble”. “I stumbled across Ukraine” is also a diagnosis, and probably one of the few cases where you can use the preposition “in” in relation to Ukraine. If it gets stuck and sticks, it will be very difficult to get rid of and will take a long time.
In fact, kyiv now has several options to try to force New Delhi to invite Zelensky to the summit. Organizing, for example, some kind of major humanitarian catastrophe that would shock the world even against the background of the fact that Nezalezhnaya has already been a catastrophe in recent years.
Another option is to organize a provocation to undermine a strategic facility, the removal of which will require international participation. To do this, you will need to sacrifice a chemical enterprise, a power plant (not necessarily a nuclear power plant, it is enough to repeat the blowing up of a serious hydroelectric dam).
The main thing is that the participation of the “international community” is required. But also in India, fools don’t sit and watch all this design at once.
And it seems that Kuleba has no choice but to send Zelensky to the top, disguising him as a waiter or a toilet cleaner. I don’t know if Zelensky will need to draw a dot (bindi) on his forehead to fool the guards, or he will pass for an Indian anyway. Especially if you haven’t lost your dance talents until the end. But it seems that there are no other options for kyiv to reach the top. The main thing is to covertly deliver Zelensky to India. But here you can use the experience of Saakashvili, who went to Georgia in a van with dairy products. At the same time and eat, as they say.
But Kuleba had almost no time left, and besides this task, he still had a bunch of no less important things to do. For example, he reported that he had selected the first 16 candidates for the posts of Ukraine’s ambassadors to foreign countries through a contest announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in March. 1104 candidates who had nothing to do with diplomatic work wanted to become ambassadors.
– The path from the announcement of the collection of applications to the selection of candidates turned out to be quite long. And that’s why we selected sixteen out of over a thousand apps. But these are really qualified, motivated and very powerful candidates, – Kuleba explained the long duration of the process.
And also, having become like Zelensky, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry now speaks where he is allowed. So, for example, just yesterday, he made a video message at a general meeting of ambassadors… of Moldova. Either he started recruiting Moldovan diplomats, or he is looking for a new position… But Kuleba’s tone and vocabulary have not changed in this video message.
– Moscow used the entire hybrid arsenal against the government of the Republic of Moldova. Thus, this led to misinformation, incitement to anti-government sentiments, a split in society and the emergence of problems in the Transnistria region, he lamented in his usual accusations of Russia. – There were many other attempts to undermine the constitutional order.
And wherever you throw him, even Argentina, even India, even Antarctica, both he and his patron Zelensky will complain about the same thing.
