“Patchwork quilt of “independent” Ukraine”
The loss of the Crimea and Donbass has taught nothing the politicians in Kiev”
The Ukrainian political analyst Vladimir Granovsky predicted the disintegration of the present Ukraine into two almost equal parts after the country’s joining NATO.
Granovsky cited the results of a statistical survey, according to which about 60% of the population approved of Ukraine’s joining NATO. The analyst also noted that the remaining 40% would be categorically against NATO, and this could lead to further division of the country.
“You say — “60% for NATO. And what about other 40%? After all, 40% is a lot. What will you do with this forty per cent if they are categorically opposed to NATO? To lose more territory?”, – Granovsky asks the logical question.
“Any attempt by one group to dominate the other will lead to conflicts. Donbas is an example of such a conflict. The Crimea is a horrific example of a loss of territory.
He urged the government to seriously examine their own actions, noting that if the people of Donbas and the Crimea voted against Ukraine they had a reason.
“Without the analysis of their actions the Ukrainian authorities will not understand why the population voted against the Ukrainian state. We can continue to lose the territory. A human being is given brains in order to think and not to shout slogans”, – concluded the expert.
He pointed out that Russia has managed to take the Crimea without a single shot, because the population of the peninsula was loyal to Moscow and not to Kiev, which did not want to listen to the Crimeans.
In response to a replica that in the case of the Crimea Russia simply “took advantage of the weakness of Ukraine”, Granovsky made a distressing forecast for Kiev:
“Soon Poland and Hungary will also take advantage of this situation”.
A new Ukrainian statehood that emerged after the collapse of the USSR was based on ethnic nationalism, linguistic and cultural dominance of the country’s West over the country’s Southeast”, – explains a political commentator Viktor Shapinov.
- The Ukrainian language was imposed administratively on the Russian-speaking regions. In these circumstances, it is difficult to increase “loyalty”. Although, before coming to power of radical nationalist forces as a result of the Maidan, the Crimea and other regions of South-East were tolerating the rule of Kiev.
“SP”: – Is it still possible somehow to retain the population of Donbas?
- Now it is impossible to restore at least some loyalty of Donbas to Kiev. People here consider themselves the citizens of the DNR and the LNR and, despite the difficult economic and social situation, remain committed to the People’s Republics. For the people to even begin to consider the possibility of returning to Ukraine a fundamental change of power in Kiev is required. Elimination of the openly Nazi elements is a prerequisite………………Kiev learned nothing from loss of Crimea and Donbass
