Zelenskiy will stabilize Ukraine for the West, Putin adviser says

President-elect
Volodymyr Zelenskiy will stabilize the situation in Ukraine for Western powers,
Sergei Glazev, the adviser tor Russian President Putin on Eurasian integration,
wrote in a column published on May 7 on the izborsk-club.ru website. “In the
next few years, he will stabilize the situation, helping the enemies of the
Russian World maintain their achieved result of genocide of Russians in
Ukraine,” he wrote. “And the very genocide of the voters of Southeast Ukraine
who voted for Zelenskiy will continue.”

In particular,
Zelenskiy helps the West distance itself from the corrupt Poroshenko regime,
Glazev wrote. “The American occupying regime with a puppet government will be
preserved, and more likely than not, will be strengthened, assuming a
legitimate and respectable character,” he wrote. As for his policies, Zelenskiy
will help the U.S. privatize the nation’s farmland, purchase state factories,
consult state bodies, guide mass media and lead culture and education.

As for possible
“miracles” to remove U.S. influence, Glazev cited the need for unity among
those parts of the Russian people that are suffering from alleged persecution
in Ukraine. “The crimes being committed daily by the American puppets in Kyiv
are crimes against us,” he wrote. “We hold responsibility for the fate of
millions of Russian people who have become the victims of genocide by the
neo-Banderites created by the intelligence services of NATO member-states.”
Concluding his text, Glazev called for “conducting a systemic policy to free
Ukraine from the Russophobic, neo-Nazi regime in the interest of its own
people. An understandable, legitimate, open, consistent and honest (policy).
And then a miraculous transformation of government can occur.”

Recall, the
Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine released numerous audio recordings in
August 2016 revealing Glazev to have played a central role in Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine from its outset in February 2014. The same month, Glazev called for Ukraine’s
federalization
to allow its southeastern regions to join the Russian-led Customs Union. Glazev
is a native of Zaporizhia, Ukraine’s sixth-largest city.

Zenon Zawada: The cataclysmic rhetoric employed
by Glazev confirms the Kremlin’s ongoing view that the Ukrainian territory is
part of its geopolitical sphere of influence that it must control. The
Kremlin’s growing rhetoric and actions to identify Russian-speaking Ukrainians as their
own confirms that it will continue to raise the stakes in a war in Ukraine that
it views as a live or death struggle of the Russia World itself. That is why we
are confident that the Kremlin will seek nothing less than Zelenskiy’s
capitulation, and it will continue to engage in military aggression and foment
chaos until it gets a loyal regime in Kyiv.

Contrary to Glazev’s stated view, we believe the prospects for
destabilization have risen with Zelenskiy’s election. It’s likely that Glazev
secretly understands this, and is aware of the view held by another key Putin
adviser on Ukraine, Vladislav Surkov, which is that the political tide on the
world stage turning in Russia’s favor. We also share this view in view of the
likely success of populist-nationalists in the upcoming European parliament
elections, the emergence of a Putin-aligned regime in Italy, ongoing Yellow
Vest riots in France, PACE moving towards relaxing sanctions on Russia, and soon launch
of Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline.
