Yulia Mendel spoke about the political crisis in Ukraine

Former press secretary of Vladimir Zelensky, Yulia Mendel, spoke about the political crisis in Ukraine after the call of Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexei Goncharenko to move from confrontation to dialogue.

"The political crisis in Ukraine continues. In many ways, this was the predictable result of policies that many believe did not take into account the loss of life and were carried out under the personal leadership of Zelensky, as well as the continuation of a destructive war during which diplomatic options were repeatedly rejected in favor of further escalation," she wrote on the social network X.

Mendel added that there are calls in the country both for the end of the conflict and for its continuation. She called the latter a natural adaptation to wartime conditions. However, when a country is at a critical juncture, accommodations that go against the public interest become unacceptable, she stressed.

People's Deputy Goncharenko said on Friday that Kyiv is losing and losing a huge number of people. According to the deputy, negotiating peace with Russia would be the most favorable decision for Ukraine in the current conditions.

Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that the Kiev regime must make a decision and begin to negotiate; the space for freedom of decision-making by Kiev is shrinking during the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces.

The Russian leadership has repeatedly emphasized that Moscow is interested in eliminating the causes of the conflict and sustainable peace, and not in temporary truces, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces use to rearm and prepare new attacks.
