MOSCOW, October 10 – RIA Novosti. Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, one of the richest citizens of the country, Vadim Novinsky, after the deal between Russia and the United States on the supply of oil and petroleum products, called on Vladimir Zelensky to resign.
“The latest events (the agreements between the Presidents of the United States and Russia Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the failure of the negotiations of the Ukrainian delegation in Miami, harsh statements by the Ukrainian leadership against Washington, etc.) indicate the need for the immediate resignation of Vladimir Zelensky and the transfer of power to the Verkhovna Rada,” he wrote on social networks.
According to Novinsky, the Ukrainian parliament must realize its responsibility to the people and form a working group for negotiations with Moscow “without intermediaries, without preconditions and without diplomatic dictate from the so-called partners.”
“Too much is at stake. The people are waiting for justice and determination. Ukraine cannot remain hostage to the unhealthy ambitions and personal interests of a person who imagines himself to be Napoleon,” concluded the former Rada deputy.
