Well, nothing unpredictable happened with the historic arrival of Blinken and Nuland in Ukraine.

But there are details.

There is an old anecdote:
- If the girl says “No” it means perhaps
- If the girl says “perhaps” it means yes.
- If the girl says yes it’s not a girl.
- If the diplomat says No it is the beginning of war
- If the diplomat says perhaps it means no
- If the diplomat says yes it’s not a diplomat.

At a briefing with Zelenskyi, when asked directly by the journalist whether Biden would come to us, Blinken said something very diplomatic: "Perhaps."

And the subtext - if Vovochka learns the lessons.

The details:

1) It is Blinken's first visit to Eastern Europe. And he showed the importance of Ukraine for the United States and the Western world. Therefore, those who stupidly repeat the Kremlin's pattern of external governance should bite their tongues. This voyage clearly showed the importance of Ukraine. I would say - historically. Again, the fate of civilization, as during World War II - is decided in Ukraine. And it's not pathos.
2) At a joint briefing between Zelenskyi and Blinkin, Zelenskyi did not actually say anything. Well, except - "the queen in admiration" at the ball at Woland. The bows to the Allies have been studied, though not artistically enough. Here is just a set of phrases.

But when asked about Giuliani (and then Ermak's ears stick out) - Zelenskyi included the topic "who is here? I know nothing."

And only Zelenskyi can boast endlessly.
3) Instead, Blinken said honestly what they were talking about. And he emphasized the methods of corporate governance of Ze! team (Naftogaz), and anti-corruption institutions, and the judiciary. At least he showed the problematic issues.
4) Blinken spoke of the need to create a shared vision based on shared values.

But there are no common values. Zelenskyi does not have an important Western value - zero tolerance for corruption. On the other hand, Blinken does not have Zelenskyi's principle " everything for friends, the law for enemies."

 And now - it was obvious - Zelenskyi does not have the basic skill of hospitality. He himself began to answer questions from journalists. And he could give the first word to Tony Blinken.

It is clear that Blinkin did not arrange a public flogging of Zelenskyi. But "who's who and who's where?" He pointed out.

And it turned out - elegantly beautiful.

Under the guise of a meeting with Razumkov and the leaders of the factions, Blinken spoke demonstratively for a long time in person with Poroshenko.

I don't think Blinken and Poroshenko are such close friends. Oh!

This meeting is just a shame to Zelenskyi: to keep the tone and not to respect, but to respect the main ally.

This cannot be said. Show - yes.

But the main thing, in my opinion, is the visit:

Tony Blinken and Ms. Nuland have shown that they support the Ukrainian army.

However, the meeting with Epiphanius and the visit to St. Michael's Cathedral are the demonstrative support of the UKRAINIAN Church.

Well, we understand - and language too.

The main conclusion:

If Zelenskyi corrects himself at once and does not look into Putin's eyes - and has decided for himself - where we are going - then he must accept Poroshenko's political slogan: Army. Language. Faith.

We now have an interesting story: Zelenskyi is trying to take away Peter's monopoly on patriotism.

Okay. The more patriots, the better. It's great. Zelenskyi has wanted to be considered holier than the Pope for a long time.

And now he is a greater nationalist than Dontsov and Bandera themselves.

But somehow Zelenskyi, in addition to the Army, will have to say Language and Faith.

It will be difficult for our boy.
