However, with all the hysterical anti-Russian propaganda of the Ukrainian Nazis, it was quite unthinkable for them to accept anything Russian publicly, including a vaccine (away from the public eye, the Ukraine still purchases a lot of things from Russia, including energy). There were only two problems with this “solution”: 1) the Chinese vaccine is only about 50%+ effective and 2) the money allocated to this purchase was immediately stolen and has now disappeared (it is being investigated, of course, but we all know how such “investigations” end). Instead, the Ukrainian authorities announced that they would be getting their vaccines from China. But not in the ugly Banderastan the Ukronazis created on the ashes of the real Ukraine. Considering that neither the EU nor the US has any inclination to offer vaccines to the Ukraine, and considering that the Ukraine has zero chances of developing its own vaccine, this solution would seem a no-brainer. First, opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk and Vladimir Putin met in Moscow and came up with a plan to help the Ukraine deal with the COVID pandemic: Russia would hand over her vaccine-development technologies to the Ukraine’s only advanced pharmaceutical company which could then produce Sputnik-V for the needs of the Ukrainian population first, and then for export. These are just a few examples of purely political actions which are “for show only” but which do absolutely nothing to actually address any real problem.Ī perfect example of this “all talk no action” approach was how Ze dealt with the COVID pandemic in the Ukraine. And, of course, Ukrainian Su-27s escorted US B-1Bs along the border between Russia and the Ukraine (makes me wonder if these Ukrainian pilots have any honor or dignity left! But no, they are just servants, that’s all, meek servants of their overseas masters). He also tightened laws against the Russian language.

What he did do is preside over a sharp increase in the scope and magnitude of suppression of free speech (more about that below). Literally, he has completely neglected the many crises which have plagued the Ukraine since the so-called “ revolution of dignity”. It is not my purpose today to analyse in detail what Zelenskii did or did not do, I will simply summarize it all by saying that Zelenskii was all talk and no action. Zelenskii is clearly terrified of the political and military power of the nationalists and far from forcing the Ukronazis to abide by the rule of law, Ze comprehensively caved in to their agenda. Early on, it did appear that Zelenskii might bring some real “change we can believe in”, the main one being that he would take action against the various Nazi death squads and open real negotiations with the Donbass. To make a long story short, many (most?) Ukrainians are now realizing two things: first Zelenskii made many promises and kept none of them and, second, Zelenskii is even worse than Poroshenko (which is hard to believe or even imagine, but such is the sad truth). Still, before looking at each one of these threats, I think that we need to first look at what the Zelenskii presidency has meant to the Ukraine. The regime in Kiev openly planning for a war against Russia.A further increase in US/NATO saber rattling and provocations.The hardening of the positions of the LDNR.The sharp rise in European rhetoric against Russia which the Ze admin will want to match and cater to.The (limited) rise of (putatively pro-Russian) OPZZh party.The persecution of opponents inside and even outside the Ukraine.The COVID pandemic, the vaccine scandal and the crumbling Ukrainian infrastructure.The strengthening of the internal opposition to Ze’s rule.Here is a partial list of problems which the Ze administration will have to deal with in 2021: (in no particular order) While the Ukraine has mostly been out of the news, there were bigger stories out there, things have gone disastrously wrong under “Ze” (Zelenskii) and the Ukraine is now looking at several time bombs which could explode at any minute.
