Zelensky has no illusions about some people in the West – Arestovich

“It seems to me that he has long been very dissatisfied … The fact that he has no illusions about some people in the West is undoubtedly,” Arestovich emphasized.

He noted that he saw nothing “shocking” in his words about “pivot of Ukraine to the East”.

“[Запад] I’m used to the fact that Ukraine for 30 years allows him to be in the role of a sacred adult, whom we look at with our mouths open. Or have we forgotten how France and Germany behaved towards Georgia during the Russian aggression? And Georgia is, by the way, the only country in the post-Soviet space, except for the Baltic states, which has managed to carry out democratic reforms. The West is a complex structure. Best of all, the West criticizes not Arestovich, but his real deeds. What did I say so offensive, shocking? That two former German chancellors work for Gazprom? “Arestovich summed up.

Commenting on the meeting between Zelensky and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Arestovich said on July 15 that the German Chancellor surrendered Ukrainian interests in favor of Russia.

“Ms Merkel is an outgoing politician. And the president and Ms Merkel, I can say so, did not find a common language, a common understanding on a whole range of issues, starting with Nord Stream, its fate, and ending with a specific implementation of the “Steinmeier formula”… Polite statements during a press conference are just to avoid quarreling, “he said.
