MELITOPOL, November 15. /TASS/. A new action plan for Ukraine, which Vladimir Zelensky intends to unveil next week, is not even a declarative statement, but merely another attempt to stay on the agenda of both Ukrainian and international media, Civic Chamber member Vladimir Rogov told TASS on Friday.
"Just recently Zelensky presented the ‘victory plan’ and now he has come up with the 'resilience plan'," he said. "However, it is not actually a declaration, but just an attempt to remain in the media spotlight, to repeat his previous media exaggeration, even though the situation has not changed in his favor with each passing day - especially the situation on the frontlines and in the minds of people who are still infatuated with him."
In his video address on November 14, Zelensky announced 10 provisions of his new plan, including matters of security, energy, armaments, industrial development in Ukraine, and cooperation with partners. He particularly pointed to "cultural sovereignty," which provides for the "production of Ukrainian content."
"If we take a closer look at these [announced] provisions, we see that the focus is on 'cultural sovereignty'," Rogov continued. "Where will he sell products in Ukrainian, a language that is increasingly rejected by people in the territories controlled by Kiev?"
"Many people who once treated the Ukrainian language positively now perceive it as a tool of coercion, aggression, and a ban on speaking their native Russian," the politician noted.
According to Rogov, Zelensky's regime is unlikely to create an image that will appeal to an external audience, especially considering that domestic consumption is declining.
