Pavel Palazhchenko said that Gorbachev’s position on Ukraine is complex and contradictory.

Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev was shocked in the last months before his death by a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. And for many years he was in a depressed psychological state due to the deterioration of relations between Moscow and Kyiv. This was reported by Reuters in connection with Gorbachev’s translator Pavel Palazhchenko.

“Not only the “(special military) operation” that started on February 24, but the whole evolution of relations between Russia and Ukraine in recent years was a very, very big blow for him. It really crushed him emotionally and psychologically. In conversations with him, it is clear to us that he is shocked and confused by what is happening for various reasons. He not only believes in the closeness of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, he believes that the two people it is interconnected,” Palazhchenko said.

According to him, Gorbachev’s position on Ukraine is complex and contradictory. The Soviet leader still believed in the idea of ​​the USSR, but would not go to war for the restoration of a disintegrated state. At the same time, Gorbachev considered it his duty to express respect and support for Vladimir Putin. He also refused to comment regularly about the war in Ukraine.
