Americans Comment: Ukrainian President's Ability Will Lead to War
The fact that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky lacks the necessary managerial experience could lead to a full-scale armed confrontation in Donbass, according to The New York Times.
Comedian lacks experience in head of state duties
"People around the world are increasingly concerned about the lack of management experience of Zelensky and his close circle, which could have catastrophic consequences and not only for Ukraine. Any careless step could lead to a war that risks seriously deteriorating relations between Russia and the United States," commented journalist Andrew Kramer.

Zelensky has gathered around himself representatives of the entertainment industry loyal to him, instead of experts who understand Kiev's domestic and foreign policy, - the observer explains.
In Kramer's view, it may be the first time in history that such a thing has happened, when the entire team of the Ukrainian leader directly from a television show took over the country.
"Before becoming a politician, Zelensky was a TV actor and comedian. He appointed people from his field to key positions in the country, even putting them at the head of the Security Service," the journalist noted.
Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine
In recent days, the West has been making increasingly frequent and loud statements that Russia is preparing an “invasion” of Ukraine. Moscow denies these accusations, stressing that Russia poses no threat to anyone and that its troop movements on its territory do not cause trouble for anyone else.
As the Kremlin has repeatedly noted, such accusations are used as a pretext for deploying additional NATO military equipment and forces on Russia's borders.
