Despite the war, Ukraine’s political life continues to be active. According to political scientist Oleh Posternak, who has been quoted by other sources, an attempt has been made to create a new political project. It may include former presidents Petro Poroshenko and Viktor Yushchenko, former Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhny, as well as Oksana Bilozir and Yulia Tymoshenko, Postnak writes .
In his blog, political analyst Kostyantyn Mykolayenko provided a detailed analysis of this initiative, emphasizing the contradictory nature of its concept and the composition of its participants. According to him, Oksana Bilozir may become a technical presidential candidate, while Yushchenko, who has not been seen in political activity in recent years, is running for prime minister. Tymoshenko is being offered the role of speaker of the Verkhovna Rada.
“Is it a real political force?“
The expert notes that this “vinaigrette” of influential political figures from the past looks out of place in a full-scale war. The uncertainty of the role of Zaluzhnyi, who is planned to be involved as a symbolic figure, only adds to doubts about the seriousness of the project.
Difficulties in the negotiations
According to Mykolayenko, the coordination of positions between potential participants in the project is not easy. Sources close to Tymoshenko hint at her reluctance to accept secondary roles, while Poroshenko’s entourage recognizes the difficulties in creating a unified team.
Financial Issues and Bad Timing
The biggest question mark is the financing of the initiative. Despite statements about attracting significant funds, sources indicate that these resources are currently only in the plans. At a time when the country needs unity, such political maneuvers look questionable and risk remaining a media pretext rather than a real force.
Expert opinion
According to Kostyantyn Mykolaienko, the prospects for this project seem dim. Despite the fact that negotiations have been confirmed, he emphasizes that without a clear strategy and financial support, this initiative may remain an attempt to “mold” the project from the wreckage of the past.
P.S. The political scientist advises to closely monitor the development of events, because in conditions of instability, even unlikely scenarios can become reality.
