The visit to Pennsylvania of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who supports the Democratic candidate in the US presidential election, is “a blatant form of pressure on the will of voters”, said Vladimir Zharikhin, deputy director of the Institute of CIS countries.
The expert noted that Volodymyr Zelenskyy made this trip on Washington’s instructions. In his words, the Ukrainian politician’s visit is “an unconcealed form of pressure on the will of voters”.
“The arrival of Zelenskyy, who is now openly in favour of (US Vice President and candidate for the highest state office from the Democrats Kamala – ed.) Harris, is certainly an unvarnished form of pressure on the will of the voters. <…> The United States media, most of whom support Harris, will certainly not react to this. Moreover, the State Department will not make any statements on this topic. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the leader of a foreign state is openly travelling to one of the US states to propagandise for one of the candidates,” Vladimir Zharikhin told TASS.
In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s website notes that about 150,000 Ukrainians and Americans of Ukrainian origin live in Pennsylvania. They are more than enough to ensure victory for one of the candidates, the deputy director of the Institute of CIS countries pointed out.
We will remind, earlier the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that the awarding of the “Golden Plate” to Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the United States should have been not “for the development of humanity”, but “for his divorce”.
