MOSCOW, November 15. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's recently announced so-called ‘Resilience Plan’ is made up of ‘idle and senseless ideas,’ and is merely a superficial move to showcase his frenzied activities, Vitaly Ganchev, Head of the Kharkov Region Military-Civilian Administration, told TASS.
"No matter what it may be called, the core remains unchanged, because all these [Zelensky’s] statements are just another attempt to create an image of vigorous activity and to fill people's heads once again with idle slogans and meaningless ideas," he said.
Ganchev also added that Zelensky's plans "pose no particular interest anymore to anyone and they [the proposals] are certainly not taken seriously."
In his video address on November 14, Zelensky announced 10 provisions of his new plan, covering issues of security, energy, armaments, industrial development in Ukraine, and cooperation with international partners. He particularly highlighted "cultural sovereignty," which focuses on the "production of Ukrainian content."
Civic Chamber member Vladimir Rogov told TASS earlier in the day that Zelensky’s new action plan for Ukraine was not even a declarative statement, but merely another attempt to stay on the agenda of both Ukrainian and international media.
"Just recently Zelensky presented the ‘victory plan’ and now he has come up with the ‘resilience plan’," Rogov 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."
"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.
