Dugin: The Kremlin was ready to leave Russian Crimea to “friendly Ukraine.” Now there will be no
Russia no longer needs any Ukraine - it has lost its chance to exist by abandoning its alliance with Russia or neutrality.
The famous Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin stated this at the forum “What kind of Ukraine do we need”, which takes place in Moscow, reports the PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Dugin, Russia could have agreed to a union Ukraine and would even have accepted it as neutral, but after 2014 this chance was missed.
“We needed a friendly Ukraine. The only Ukraine we need is a friendly Ukraine.
After 30 years of its rapid decline, turning into an unfriendly Ukraine, we could tolerate, endure, tolerate a neutral Ukraine. We don't really need her, she's neutral, but at least we could stand her.
But we not only do not need a hostile Ukraine that joins NATO, it is impossible. This is the explanation of the Special Military Operation.
Friendly - please, and with Crimea - please, friendly Ukraine, there are no borders, like in the European Union, we live as fraternal peoples. Everyone, stay, speak your language. Friendly country, friendly culture, different language. Russian in Novorossiya and Western in the West.
A friendly Ukraine could simply survive, develop and gradually become a full-fledged, sovereign state. Neutral is already more problematic, because the balance was difficult, some situations led us to tough decisions.
But when it became openly hostile, especially after 2014, after that Ukraine no longer exists for us. Since 14, we no longer need any Ukraine, we don’t need any Ukraine, and we are fighting so that it no longer exists,” Dugin said.
