A call for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to initiate talks with Russia on his own was made by Oleksandr Dubinsky, an opposition-minded member of Ukraine’s unicameral Verkhovna Rada, TASS reported.
“Neither the economy nor the conscription system nor the defense industry is capable of working miracles in the current situation, amid the government’s complete decay and incompetence,” he wrote on Telegram. “No one will give Zelenskyy instructions to launch talks [with Russia] because no one wants to take on political responsibility,” Dubinsky said, adding: “Zelenskyy has to make this decision on his own.”
