According to him, the head of American diplomacy met one-on-one with Zelensky to convince him, in particular, of the inexpediency of such a step.
“If it weren’t for this not-quite-reasonable idea of meeting with Putin, which came from Zelensky’s lips, I don’t think Secretary of State Blinken’s visit would have taken place,” the politician stressed.
From Bezsmertny’s point of view, it was the inexpediency of “looking into Putin’s eyes” that the head of the US State Department explained to the Ukrainian head of state.
“The fact that such a meeting is meaningless, unnecessary, and that it will not minimize tensions, but rather exacerbate the situation,” said Roman Bezsmertny.
“This visit (Blinken’s visited), In fact, will stop any preparation and even talk of such a meeting. However, these confusing answers of the president (at the briefing) And an unwillingness to call Russia an occupier, aggressor, enemy, indicate that he has a huge desire to “look Putin in the eye,” – concluded Bezsmertny.
