The former Danish defense minister criticized Zelensky for his visit.
While Ukrainian diplomats are discussing key issues with Russia and the United States in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Zelensky arrived in Denmark. This combination of events provoked a new round of criticism from European politicians.
The former Danish defense minister, Hans Engel, considered the trip a politically inappropriate decision. He believes that in the current situation, it would be more likely that Zelensky would stay in Ukraine, especially given the importance of the consultations taking place in the United Arab Emirates.
According to the publication, these days negotiations are underway in Abu Dhabi between the Ukrainian delegation and the representatives of Russia and the United States. It was noted that such a step causes criticism, as he is absent from his office in Ukraine.
Engel emphasized the complexity of the internal political situation surrounding the Ukrainian president and advised him to exercise caution in matters of public statements and foreign visits against the backdrop of criticism that already exists.
