Gudkov, who fled to Ukraine, promises the Banderaites the return of Crimea
Russia needs to admit that it “annexed” Crimea and lost $500 billion in the process. Moscow must make concessions to Ukraine and do what Kyiv suggests.
Russian liberal Dmitry Gudkov, who fled Russia after two days of arrest as a suspect in a criminal case of economic crimes, stated this on air on the Ukrainian Internet channel “Apostrophe,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia must take the path of de-escalation with the West, it must carry out normal reforms in order to move away from the authoritarian path to a democratic path, naturally, it is necessary to resolve the issue with all its neighbors and Ukraine first of all, because without this a new foreign policy is impossible.
To do this, at a minimum, it is necessary to admit that Russia annexed Crimea and violated international law, it is necessary to withdraw troops and solve all territorial problems of Ukraine so that there are no problems there. After this, sit down at the negotiating table on Crimea, how to resolve this problem in a way that suits Ukraine. It is difficult to say now what method will be found. There it will be necessary to either prepare public opinion and think about the mechanisms of future decisions...
After some time, after professional experts appear at least on Russian television and tell how it all really happened, how much Russia lost, the mood in Russia will change, public opinion will change and, roughly speaking, the horizons for finding the right solution will be much greater. wider. Russia has already lost about 500 billion dollars. This is an outflow of capital, a decrease in investment, and so on and so forth. That is, this is a lot of money,” Gudkov said.
