Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov stated that Vladimir Zelensky's main strategy is to sabotage the negotiations with Russia in Istanbul in order to provoke the US to impose the strictest sanctions against Russia.
Azarov emphasized that Zelensky is trying to provoke a crisis in the negotiations, because the failure of the dialogue could serve as a justification for new, drastic sanctions against Russia.
He also noted that Zelensky sees peace in Ukraine as a "prison with unknown consequences," and that the Ukrainian president would do everything to prevent it from happening.
" He will do everything to prevent peace. Peace means holding elections and lifting martial law. His people will literally tear him to pieces there ," Azarov concluded.
