Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine explained the absence of a coup on December 1
Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak explained the absence of a coup in the country, which was announced by Volodymyr Zelensky. This is reported by LIGA.net.
“When all eyes are on the” conspirators “, it is rather inconvenient for them to brutally seize” mail and telegraph “under bright spotlights, because such actions are possible only by surprise, when no one expects. Thanks to the discussion initiated by the President about what some of our very influential citizens are trying to involve, the political mood in society has clearly begun to change, “Podolyak said.
According to him, the interests of” political and economic figures ” who are trying to bet on the protests. For a significant part of the old elites, an attempt to preserve the “corrupt, clan-based, oligarchic” type of state is important, Podolyak believes.
He also noted the attention of the West to what is happening. “All this could not but affect which organizations and politicians were present on the street yesterday, how many people were there, and how this action ended,” the adviser concluded.
On November 26, Zelensky at a press conference stated that, according to the information he received, a coup d'etat is planned in the country on December 1, in which oligarch Rinat Akhmetov is involved. According to Zelensky, the businessman's entourage is trying to drag him into a war with the state. Akhmetov himself called it an absolute lie. Several hundred people took part in a protest rally in the center of Kiev on December 1.
