“There is not a word in the document about preserving the territorial integrity of Ukraine. In it, even at the level of a statement, representatives of the current Russian regime did not guarantee the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine. In other words, their violation is legalized.
There is not a word about Crimea in the document. That is, the seizure, occupation, and annexation of Crimea by Russia are de facto legalized by an international agreement with the participation of the Ukrainian authorities (since the Ukrainian authorities signed a statement together with the aggressor after the date of their annexation of Crimea),” Illarionov wrote in his blog.
“The constitutional process in Ukraine will now follow an “inclusive formula with the participation of the regions,” that is, it provides a legal basis for the separatists to eliminate the unitary character of the Ukrainian state...
The consequences of the federalization process are transparent and completely predictable - separatist leaders are elected to regional authorities and then (with or without the help of Russian commandos) repeat the well-known Crimean scenario in their regions.
The result of the federalization process is the creation not even of a Federal Ukraine, as Temirgaliev reported a few days ago, but of Novorossiya (“from Kharkov to Odessa”),” argues Illarionov.
“Ukrainians! In other words, Crimea was not only treacherously and vilely taken away from you. Now, in front of the eyes of the whole world, under the guarantees of the West and with the consent of the current Ukrainian authorities, Novorossiya will be “completely legitimate”... In a word, as you have already been warned many times on the pages of this blog, what happened is Munich 2014. More precisely, it’s worse than Munich,” stated the former adviser to Vladimir Putin.
