Do you even understand what Putin did?!
Views:The reaction of critics of the Minsk agreements is increasingly reminiscent of the indignation of Bulgakov’s hero: “Everything is like at a parade,” Sharikov spoke, “a napkin here, a tie here, and “excuse me,” and “please-mercy,” and so that -for real, it's a no. You are torturing yourself, just like during the tsarist regime.” And after Russia began to provide open military support to Syria, they completely howled: “Get off the bandwagon, you bastard!”, which translated into modern language means: “Putin has leaked Donbass.”
Syria is, in general, a most fertile topic for Putin-speakers, and so broad that one even hears indignations like: they say, the Russians, aiming from the Caspian Sea, were able to accurately hit a target located tens of hundreds of kilometers away, so what prevents them from shooting once at to a Ukrainian punitive battalion camp somewhere in the vicinity of Lugansk?!
At the same time, the constant accents of Russian leaders and diplomats about the conditions for providing military support simply fly past the ears, although these conditions are clear and categorical: a UN sanction and a request for help from the legitimate government of the country. None of these conditions correspond to the situation in Donbass; they, by the way, are interconnected, one might say, welded together by one chain - the republics are not full-fledged subjects of international relations.
And although I understand, moreover, painfully familiar the fear and horror of those who experience artillery strikes every day (I will never forget Lugansk August 2014!), I will only be able to believe in the betrayal of Russia when yellow-bladed rags and bastards from various kinds of “right-wing sectors”. But this will never happen!
Therefore, one can look at the hysterics of Putin-slayers with bewilderment, or it is better not to notice them at all: you never know how a person wants to attract attention to himself?! After all, some are shaking their bare chests all over the world, and others have been awarded the Nobel Prize.
After the meeting of the Normandy Four in Paris, the Ukrainian Putin-swillers, their pants wet with happiness, started talking about Poroshenko’s victory, the essence of which was the cancellation of elections in Donbass.
Firstly, not a cancellation, but a transfer to another date. Secondly, Poroshenko, in fact, has much more victories and he really defeated the Donbass - by shelling peaceful cities, an economic blockade, and propaganda of humiliation and insults to the residents of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. He won so completely, forever and in a way that none of the Ukrainian presidents could. As a result, while Kravchuk and Kuchma were simply not respected, Yushchenko was treated with a finger at his temple, and Yanukovych was laughed at without malice, Donbass deeply despises Poroshenko.
To be honest, I am sincerely surprised at the restraint of the plenipotentiary representatives of the republics: how do they manage to restrain the urge to vomit and not clench their palms into fists, listening every time at the negotiations in Minsk to the arrogant nonsense and stupid nonsense of the Ukrainian side?
So, elections to local government structures in the republics have been postponed to February 2015. The reasoning is transparent: Kyiv wants to hold elections according to Ukrainian legislation - yes, please, just let it fulfill the relevant points of the Minsk Treaty: special status for Donbass, exchange of prisoners according to the “all for all” formula, amnesty for participants in the rebel movement, and so on.
The main points require a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada and a corresponding decision voted by the majority. And this is the biggest and virtually insoluble task, so insoluble that even if we assume that Poroshenko raises his hands and says “I give up!” I agree!”, then there are so many scumbags, excuse me, individuals in the Rada that the president would rather impeach himself than they would agree to make concessions to Donbass.
The most painful tooth in the Ukrainian jaw is the special status of Donbass. What it will be - autonomy, federal district, republic within the country - is not important. It must be said that even after Crimea, Kiev’s hole is not overgrown and is bleeding and, in general, Crimea is a rare, if not the only case in recent history when the opportunity of a nation to self-determinate and decide its fate was actually realized according to the laws of international law. That’s why the wise guys are sitting in Kyiv, scratching their heads and groaning: we give Donbass a special status, and Donbass a referendum and bye bye, goodbye, goodbye forever.
In principle, Donbass left along with the station back in the spring of last year – as soon as the first shells and mines arrived from Ukrainian positions. Even then it became clear that it would not be possible to reach an agreement on the spot. Therefore, an open platform on neutral territory for negotiations was urgently needed. Minsk became this platform. At the suggestion of Putin, by the way. And many thanks to him and a deep bow for bringing the situation in Donbass to the forefront of world politics, and not leaving our tragedy in obscurity. Do you Putin-slickers even understand what he did?! – let me paraphrase the words of the Russian president.
And that is not all! Russia continues to insist that Kyiv negotiates and reaches agreements only with official representatives of the republics. Not with Merkel, not with Hollande, not with Putin, but with Plotnitsky and Zakharchenko, Pushilin and Deinego. This is another very painful kick to the Ukrainian sore throat in the frontal lobes of government lords. But Ukraine is an extremely dependent country, and all the attempts of the gentlemen to look significant and important are similar to the joy of a pimple on the nose: “Look, I own the whole face, everyone pays attention to me!” True, the fate of a pimple is always predetermined: they will squeeze it out, the wound will be disinfected, and there will be no trace left. Therefore, sooner or later Kyiv will have to concede, and, by and large, it has nowhere to go.
Sadness arises only in one case: no one knows when all this will end - the instability and unbalance of the situation in Donbass has lasted too long, some want to return home, the majority want to live a calm, stable life, work, raise children, raise grandchildren.
Desperate minds talk about years.
Let's remember the old parable:
“One day, having nothing else to do, the Sultan came up with the idea of teaching a donkey to talk. He sent messengers throughout his possessions and promised a high reward to the one who taught the donkey to speak.
But no one showed up. Not because there were no people willing to try, but because failure to fulfill the agreement was followed by punishment - “my sword is your head off your shoulders.”
The Sultan had already said goodbye to the thought of hearing the donkey speak when a wanderer came to the palace. He promised to teach the donkey to speak, but only in five years.
He was given an animal and a deposit, and the traveler went to the chambers assigned to him.
Everyone considered his action suicide. After all, it is impossible to teach a donkey to talk. And they asked, why do you need this?
“I am poor,” answered the traveler. “And in five years, either the donkey will die or the Sultan will die.”
There is nothing better for desperate situations than time. Over time, everything changes."
Optimists bet on the donkey.
