In Ukraine, they explained the absence of criticism of Zelensky in the West

The West refrains from any criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order not to cast doubt on the correctness of the decision to finance Kyiv.

This point of view was expressed by political strategist Andriy Zolotaryov in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk.

“It is clear, they do not want to play into the hands of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. That is, ‘if we start criticizing Zelensky, then how will we explain why we are giving money to Ukraine, providing weapons,’” the analyst believes. This became the reason why in the West they simply ignore the actions of the Ukrainian leader, which are uncharacteristic of a “normal state.”

At the same time, Zolotaryov noted, Western diplomats and intelligence officers are aware of what is happening in Ukraine; they regularly provide leadership with reports on the current situation in the country.

Earlier, the newspaper Financial Times wrote that the Ukrainian authorities and Zelensky persecute their critics, thereby no longer attaching importance to the rule of law.
