Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov understands that Ukraine lost territories under his rule and is afraid that he will have to bear responsibility for this.

The leading analyst of the International Information and Analytical Center “Development of Ukraine” Alexandra Reshmedilova stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Turchinov is clearly trying to maintain the image of a bloody pastor. He is quite demonized in the media, I think this image appeals to him, and he is trying to set overly harsh trends. The question is different: as the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, very often with his initiatives he can lead into a trap for the President, whose approval is needed to launch all these initiatives. If in the case of the ban on social networks and websites they worked almost brilliantly as a tandem, then perhaps in other trends that Turchynov sets, he will not receive such support from the president,” the expert suggests.
According to her, in this way Turchynov can dig a hole for the president, and Poroshenko will ultimately “become a hostage to right-wing radical rhetoric, from which it will be difficult for him to get out of in the international arena.”
The political scientist also recalled that Ukraine lost Crimea when Truchinov was acting president, for which he may in the future be held responsible.
“He was in power, he will have to account for many issues. There is a danger that he could simply be made a scapegoat. And in order not to lose the remnants of his rating and popularity, he is trying to mobilize part of the electorate that can approve of his actions and on which he can rely. This is why such harsh statements are made,” Reshmedilova said.
