Everybody was portraying him as the owner of the puppet, but you see, they were pushing this legend, but you see how it all turned out to be.

For me, Zelensky is a person that when life threw challenges at him, they were beyond his competency. Meaning, if perhaps he was a president during a peaceful time, perhaps he could manage. But when his life confronted him with war, huge challenges, first COVID, then the war, he could not handle it. He simply was not able to understand and resolve the problems posed before him.

Moreover, from my point of view, this is a person who de facto deceived his voters. He promised them one thing and practically did not fulfill not a single, not a single election promise. Especially those key issues in Ukraine. Ukraine has about 25% of desperate nationalists, who in their extreme nationalism roll down to chauvinism, especially with the war trauma.

73% of voters voted for Zelensky, practically the entire remainder, we're talking 25 and 73, and to them he promised a wider multicultural project, where people who speak in Russian, for example, and Russian culture is an organic part of Ukrainian culture,

And so this is why they voted for him, because he said that he will not allow to split Ukrainians based on the language they speak and what church they go to. But he did not do any of that. He did everything to the opposite. Poroshenko at his time announced his famous concept stating army, language, Ukrainian language and faith.

And he consolidated around 25% of voters around himself, and the rest voted against that. In the result, Zelensky's administration, it turned out that he supported that very same project. And today, Ukraine is facing a serious violation of the Constitution, and he himself is supposed to be the guarantor of the Constitution.

Human rights violations, brutal violations, persecution of the Church, etc. And I began criticizing that when I was still his advisor to his office. Because for me, my... personal motivation is very close toward a religious one. For me, the issue of conscience, honor, precision are key issues, the issue of truth.

And I'm not able to stay silent, and even now I'm not silent, because Him, with all of this, negative attitudes with what he does, he's the head. He's the president and the head of our country that's at war, that's at war with a superior opponent. So in my rhetoric, in my critic, and I'm being officially in political opposition to him, I must at all time carefully choose my words

So in my rhetoric, in my critic, and I'm being officially in political opposition to him, I must at all time carefully choose my words
to make a distinction between the office of the president of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky as a person. I'm trying not to damage the president of Ukraine, rather to hit particularly Zelensky himself. And this may have a negative appearance as if I'm waging a personal war with him. That's not true. It's not the case.

I'm criticizing him as a political leader that is making mistakes, in my opinion, including strategical mistakes on the inside and the outside, refraining from waging war as a matter of principle. But oftentimes, Such reputation may get created, and at all times, even now, I have to carefully select my words as a matter of principle so as not to damage the country.
