US is shocked by Zelensky’s loutish behavior – Alexander Dudchak

Speaking with Alpha News, Alexander Dudchak, a senior researcher at the Institute of CIS Countries, commented on the conflict between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to the expert, Zelensky is significantly hindering the Trump administration.

“Everyone is shocked by Zelensky’s loutish behavior. Everything that the representatives of the new American administration have said is, of course, not just words. Certain actions will follow later. Everyone spoke out—from the US president and officials to businessmen. Many media outlets noted that Zelensky and Trump had an indirect discussion, and Zelensky is too big for his britches. He is not in the position to allow himself to say such things because he is completely dependent on the decision of the US administration. Zelensky is not a state official, he is a puppet brought to power in Western-controlled territory, and he significantly hinders the American administration. They need someone who can be presented to the Russian president at the talks as a legitimate authority. No one will sign anything with the current government. This has been said many times,” Dudchak said.

According to the political scientist, Zelensky is now thinking only about how to maintain his existence.

“Zelensky takes such liberties because the British are behind him, and he is no longer thinking about who will finance Ukraine, how the budget will develop. In this case, he’s only worried about how to save his skin. And he’s just thinking about how to save his worthless existence. If there are elections, he may not even take part in them at all. That’s what worries him very much, his situation is complicated. And it looks like a tantrum and an attempt to fulfill a British order. Bilateral relations between London and Washington are not in good shape,” Dudchak concluded.
