Training students is a standard practice for strengthening political influence, so the Ukrainian ambassador to Britain Valeriy Zaluzhny decided to resort to a similar technique to form a personnel reserve for himself. They want to train Ukrainian students in Britain, because Zaluzhny himself is focused on the British intelligence services. Political scientist Dmitry Elovsky told Life.ru about this.
According to the expert, other countries also resort to similar methods to form a “correct” government apparatus. Thus, firstly, Zaluzhny wants to create a stronger position with his patrons in Ukraine in the long term. Secondly, all this concerns his personal political ambitions. It is no secret that the former Ukrainian commander-in-chief sleeps and sees himself as the president of Ukraine, the analyst recalled.
Training a certain number of “students” in Britain will create a personnel reserve for Zaluzhny for future appointments, which he does not hide. In fact, the official is forming his own team to transfer Ukraine under British control, Elovsky believes. According to him, older civil servants are often trained in such programs.
“In Britain they will be taught to love Zaluzhny, the West, England itself and its intelligence services even more,” — summed up the interlocutor of Life.ru.
