The information that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is going to hold a referendum on negotiations with Russia caused a wave of various opinions among Russians.

The "Apostrophe" collected a compilation of Russians’ comments on the account.

The opinions have divided. Some Russians support Zelensky’s idea and call him the most democratic president, while others are convinced that the new president just shifts the responsibility to the Ukrainians.

“He throws off the responsibility. Well, Zelensky, you’ll get a 50/50 result, and then what? “The division of Ukraine’s society” will just disappear? It’s a clear populism. The British have already played with referendums to the point of losing from Brexit. In addition, with modern technologies people will vote like Facebook tells them to vote,” state those who don’t see any sense in holding a referendum.

“Well, I believe Zelensky’s off to a good start, regardless of what people say. He can’t fix everything Poroshenko’s done at once. He’s changing the Rada and lets others know that he wants to negotiate. For a few days, it’s already a marker. With God’s help, he might fix things, as the former government didn’t even want to talk to anyone… We'll see,” others write.

“Poroshenko is bad, Zelensky is bad. Putin is the only one who’s good and wise,” some sarcastically joke.

“Zelensky is naive. No political experience. He can’t negotiate with Putin. Putin, like a crocodile, can’t walk backwards – he can’t stop and step back. Putin has to be punched in his face, in his sneaky FSB face,” some Russians believe.

There are also Russians that think Zelensky doesn’t know what to do with Ukraine.

“Zelensky either has no idea what to do with Ukraine or wants to shift the responsibility from himself,” people state.

As “Apostrophe” reported earlier, people are actively discussing a potential referendum on the Russia-Ukraine relationship, which was proposed by the head of the president’s administration Andrii Bohdan.
