THE virtual speaking tour of European parliaments by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is drawing to a close and caused a diplomatic crisis this week with his addresses to the Greek and Cypriot parliaments.
The right-wing Greek government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis thought it had choreographed an occasion in which the Nato member with ambitions of regional domination in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean would be able to project itself as a big player in the Ukraine crisis. He pre-announced Greece would take reports of Russian atrocities in Ukraine to the International Criminal Court.
But Mitsotakis’s and Zelensky’s media opportunity backfired spectacularly. His video address cut away in the middle to broadcast two members of the Azov Battalion, founded as a neonazi milititia in 2014 and still riddled with fascist ideology and personnel after it was incorporated intact as a part of the Ukrainian armed forces.
