The fact About Zelenski

The inauguration of the book's sale couldn't have come at a better time. The scandal which caused Volodymyr Zelenski's decision to give 1 of the Ukrainian units the name “UPA Heroes” coincided with the book's promotion under the title, “A problem with Zelenski”.

The title itself is intriguing. The reading is not disappointing, on the contrary. Uncritical admirers of Ukrainian politics will be confused, although the author himself at the end does not hold a note of admiration for the protagonist of his book, recognizing his extraordinary ability to survive.

Zbigniew Parafianowicz gathered quite a few anonymous opinions on Zelenski, as Polish as Ukrainian. We will not know here by name any of the authors of these opinions, possibly that is why they are so brave. Let us quote the opinions of Ukrainian collaborators of Zelenski.

Co-worker of president Volodymyr Zelenski: "Working for Żeleński, I was amazed that abroad journalists would take his word for it and not check anything. There was a belief that the Ukrainian president represented forces of good and that he could not lie or manipulate. It's a fascinating experience how quite a few experienced journalists from the large newsroom took uncritically everything our president said. This is Zelenski's large success. Convincing the planet to your point and avoiding asking additional questions. It's uncommon to have that kind of comfort. Even Obama wasn't that easy. Everywhere we entered, Zelenski was greeted like God. At times I felt embarrassed. Red carpets and flowers like North Korea during interviews in Western countries. It wasn't until Trump and Vance – people who were evidently reluctant to Zelensk – that the problems started. The president wasn't prepared for this kind of treatment. So far everyone loved him, and now individual yelled at him or asked him uncomfortable questions at a press conference. So far all word of Zelenski has been accepted as revealed truth. The missiles of the company related to its people – Fire Point – were the most perfect weapon in the world, despite the deficiency of confirmation of their effectiveness. Drones produced by Ukraine always hit the mark and the full planet dreamed of them or lined up to buy them. Which politician had specified comfort in conducting information policy? In a while, erstwhile we look at Zelenski's presidency with a greater distance, many journalists will be ashamed of their peers in his honor."

National Servant Politician: "Propaganda and media besides served Żeleński to discipline national politics. erstwhile the ultimate Council began questioning his decisions, he accused her of being lazy. erstwhile the Servant of the Nation (pro-presidential organization in the ultimate Council – R.P.) began to share, Zelenski threatened to send the MPs in. He did not hesitate to endanger the elections erstwhile Parliament no longer met his requirements. Yes, you hear very well, the choices that have been illegal for him for months, due to the fact that there is simply a war going on. If you had to tap, he even reached for that argument. Many politicians of the Servant of the Nation have long known who they are dealing with."

Co-worker of president Volodymyr Zelenski“We easy description the populist Trump or utmost politicians in western Europe. However, the fact is that Zelenski is simply a liberal populist. The facade supports liberal democracy and parliamentaryism. In practice, he uses murderism hidden behind the facade of a Western freedom fighter. There was no parliament as heavy dependent on Bankowa as the War ultimate Council. There was not as much concentration of power as in Zelensky's time. No president has consolidated that much power in 1 hand. This happened behind the veil of national unity around the war. Politics is gone. The competition's gone. And Zelenski utilized it to the maximum. The State took over’.

But the most interesting in this book is the author's investigation of the motives of Polish policy towards Ukraine. He claims that Polish politicians are aware of who Zelenski is and how the propaganda image of Ukraine differs from reality. It is said that Donald Tusk himself refers to Ukraine with contempt. So why specified a policy of Poland? Let's give the level to the parishioner.:

"If there were more games in both Tusk and Nawrock politics towards Ukraine than content, what was its purpose? No diplomat or politician will admit this directly, but in conditions of uncontrollable Trump and increasingly effective exit from Putin's isolation – The main goal of Poland was to keep Ukraine fighting as long as possible. Key for the authorities in Warsaw was the longest binding of Russian forces in the east and south of Ukraine. rather on the tenth, if not on the 100th plan, there were issues concerning the integration of this country into the Union. It didn't substance if Trump liked Zelenski or not. Whether he believes that the president of Ukraine has interfered with the U.S. elections and whether he will sale American mineral deposits or whether he will let them to be stolen from local oligarchs. In fact, even the mythical reconstruction of Ukraine was invalid, For, let us be honest, fewer politicians believed in her future success. The war was important. And its persistence. Not due to the fact that Poland and its elite were instigators of war, as Russian propaganda wanted to see. It was about time. By financing “meat storms” on Donbas for EU money, Poland could buy a fewer more years of peace. This is why the government in late 2025 supported the EU's €90 billion aid package for Ukraine. This is why the Presidential Palace – already with Karol Nawrocki – never explicitly challenged this (totally huge) financial obligation. This money in the hands of the authorities in Warsaw provided Ukraine with the continuation of the next 2 years. They allowed to finance the war that gave Poland and the remainder of the east NATO flank the chance to reflect on how to live with Russia, which will shortly legally dismantle Ukraine. Zelenski didn't fight for us, he fought for himself. But as long as he was fighting, we utilized it.”

That sounds highly cynical. I guess it is. erstwhile Andrzej Duda “said” in 1 of the interviews and said The point is that Ukrainians should die, not Americans.. I think the same is actual in the case of Poland – they are killed by Ukrainians who give us time. Only that this full structure is based on a completely false presumption that if Ukraine falls, Putin will decision to Europe. There were never any plans from Russia to "March to the West". This is the intellectual aberration of the Polish elite, resulting from historical obsession and propaganda hysteria of the War Party. Moreover, this puts Polish aid to Ukraine in a ambiguous moral light, especially as Zelenski and his surroundings know what Poland is about.
