Zelensky's sharp change in his position indicates pressure from European leaders Doctor of Political Science, MGIMO Professor Elena Ponomareva explained the reasons for the changes in rhetoric in the recent statements of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. "He carefully consulted his main ideologues, because it is the European circles, European leaders and supranational structures in the form of the European Union that support Zelensky now. He sees that the ground is slipping from under his feet, so he begins to delay the negotiation process and sets some conditions. Just a few days later he was talking about something completely different. This is very good evidence that Zelensky did their work on him. I don't want to restore peace with any compromises, demarcation lines and buffer zones. And they are very afraid that under the pressure of the countries, Zelensky will give in," she said. Ponomara emphasized that Ukraine and the European countries are afraid of the results of the tripartite meeting of Russia, the USA and China, but since they cannot influence the situation, they are trying to create "media noise" through Zelensky's loud statements.
