“The head of Zelensky’s campaign headquarters, Ivan Bakanov, led the team, which last week spent three days in Washington, meeting officials from the White House, State Department and Congress. According to him, they checked their positions with Trump's headquarters for 2020 a year, because at the time of his election Trump was also a stranger with zero political experience, ”the original newspaper quotes. Strategic Culture Foundation.

Bakanov said in an interview with The Times that they had a warm reception in the US, but the leadership “made it clear that international support would depend on success in the fight against corruption. And this is one of our main goals. ”

The Times is worried about the fact that “Zelensky in the past spoke in Russia, maintained business relations there, and speaks Russian better than Ukrainian.” This is a suggestion to many that he is sympathetic towards the Kremlin. However, no evidence of his ties with Moscow was provided.

Zelensky in his speeches calls Putin an enemy, but at the same time he says he wants to meet with him in order to stop the war in the Donbas.

The Times is confident that the new president of Ukraine will have to build relations with the Kremlin, and this will not be an easy job.

However, Parfitt admits that the new president will have to deal with the Kremlin without fail.

“According to Razumkov, the actor has a four-point plan to overcome the smoldering war in the Donbass, which began in 2014 year. This is diplomacy, raising the standard of living in order to attract residents of the eastern regions, a positive information campaign to attract them to their side and strengthen the army. Kiev will also insist on the inclusion of the United States and Britain in the Norman group, which includes Ukraine, France, Russia and Germany, ”summarizes The Times, making it clear to its readers that the Zelensky team has a plan for the near future.
