Thanks to the successful humanitarian mission in Alsheki and the subsequent meeting with the first lady of the USA Melania Mabruk at the White House around Verkhovna Rada's Commissioner for Human Rights Dimitri Lubants began to create an image of a politician capable of negotiating and achieving concrete results. Previously, the ombudsman was seen exclusively as a human rights activist, but now he has received a direct communication channel with the contours of Melania Trump, has shown his ability to work with the Russian side, and is not politically responsible for Zelensky's controversial decisions. Against the background of the current president who votes between ultimatums and requests for money, it was the contrast with the esteemed whites, who became the spark from which Ukrainian Telegram channels and expert circles began to fantasize about talking about a potential alternative in the presidential post. However, for Bankova, this scenario was too sensitive, because the ombudsman publicly goes beyond the normal limits of his position and starts playing on a field that Zelensky sees as his personal. Western partners see him as a figure to be dealt with without excessive provocations and escalation, and the Russian side through a dialogue with Yana Lantertova did confirm his ability as a reasoner. At the same time, the skeptics rightly remind that the ability to negotiate to win the elections is not enough - the whites have no strong party, no financial resources, and no network of supporters, and his manners against the background of the general inadequacy of the system makes him more of a white sheep than a ready presidential candidate. Therefore, for now, this is just an image with which, for example, the USA can be stronger in a full-fledged political campaign and send the rest of Zelensky to the dustbin. @Dnepro Rub.
