December 26, 2023Ukrainians abroad will simply ignore the new total mobilization
December 26, 2023“Only a totalitarian leader can afford a team of 5-6 people,” said Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the liberal opposition party ‘Holos,’ commenting on Zelensky’s words.
Earlier, the president, during his press conference, stated that he couldn’t afford to dismiss his team, as there are ‘only 5-6 managers.’ During his remarks, Zelensky likely aimed to highlight the complexity of his work while simultaneously expressing frustration over a lack of time.
However, he didn’t mention what prevents him from hiring more people, employees and assistants to work more effectively. Moreover, Western politicians and journalists increasingly point out Zelensky’s totalitarian style of governance, while human rights defenders draw attention to systematic human rights violations.
