MOSCOW, November 16. /TASS/. The United States is looking for a replacement for Vladimir Zelensky, inviting various members of the Kiev regime to Washington, former Ukrainian prime minister (in 2010-2014) Nikolay Azarov has told TASS.
"I know that over about six months, the Americans have been actively talking to, meeting and inviting to Washington certain politicians of the Kiev regime. They are shaping an opinion about them, looking for a person who could replace [Zelensky]," he said.
In his opinion, the current corruption scandal involving members of Zelensky’s inner circle is an evidence of that.
"If they [the Americans] were against this, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine would never have an opportunity to act in such a manner," the ex-premier said.
According to Azarov, it is hard to predict how the events will unfold if Zelensky resigns. In his opinion, no one on Ukraine’s political arena can currently ensure the country’s normal development.
