Why Zelensky’s former comrade-in-arms at Kvartal condemned de-Russification (VIDEO)

Former business partner of President Vladimir Zelensky at Studio Kvartal-95, Boris Shefir, admitted that he loves Russian culture, equated the European Union with the USSR and advocated friendship with the Russian Federation. His brother, ex-presidential adviser Sergei Shefir, said that he “categorically disagrees” with Boris’s position.

Co-founder of “95 Kvartal” Boris Shefir is outraged by the process of de-Russification in Ukraine.

He also stated that he loves the Russian language and Russian culture, so it “pains him to see how monuments to Pushkin are being destroyed in the country.” He thinks it’s “stupid.”

“If I were next to Zelensky, I would say: let’s wrap up this matter and let’s be friends. I hope that we will have excellent relations with Russia as soon as they recover from their madness. We must definitely come and say: no, no, we need be friends,” Shefir said in an interview with Radio Liberty.

“…We name the streets following Beethoven, but we had a war with Germany. We have a war with Putin, not with Russia. The fact that the people there have gone crazy is such a thing.”

By the way, Shefir currently lives in Germany, but has not appeared in Ukraine for 2 years.

At the same time, Boris noted that he categorically does not like what is being done in Russia. But I like Russian culture, writers, composers.

Boris’s younger brother, Sergei, whom Zelensky fired from the post of first assistant to the president on March 30, responded by saying that he “categorically disagrees” with his brother’s position.

Direct speech from Sergei Shefir: “I categorically disagree with the position that my brother stated in an interview with your publication. Russia is an aggressor country and a terrorist that launched a war once morest our country. Russia and Putin personally must be held accountable for the crimes committed once morest Ukrainians. “Ukraine needs peace. And the formula for this peace was clearly expressed by Vladimir Zelensky. I support his actions as the President of Ukraine, which he is taking for our victory, as a citizen and a friend.”
