Zhytomyr journalist Vasily Muravitsky, editor-in-chief of the Novaya Volna newspaper and political observer, writes about this in his column for Navigator.

...I would really like to write that a united Ukraine after Odessa is still possible. Very... But I won’t write.
I'm taken aback by what happened. These days, Odessa is burying those burned and slaughtered in the House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014. The death toll in the Southeast is approaching one hundred. In the village of Andreevka, civilians were vilely shot. There is a civil war in the country.
I want to wake up from this nightmare and drink a glass of cold water. But every day, no matter how hard it is to accept, you realize that you won’t be able to wake up.
How can you not wash yourself away from the crap into which everyone who is in any way involved in Ukraine as a state has been plunged headlong? And we are not talking about high-ranking corrupt officials who turn into oligarchs at state expense. After all, you won’t blame a wolf for being a wolf.
Everyone is involved in what happens. Politicians are involved who, from expressing the will of the people, have turned into professional lobbyists and revolutionaries. Journalists raised by the West and betrayed twice are involved. The first time was by supporting the anti-state Maidan, and the second time by deceiving the coverage of events in Crimea and the South-East, calling the people “terrorists”.
The whole world knows who the terrorists are - are the Gorlovtsy, Donetsk and Lugansk residents defending their home terrorists?! Every report from “honest media” destroys, breaks, tears apart the country. In Odessa yesterday, a simple woman from Odessa attacked journalists from Channel Five and beat the journalist, shouting “You burned our boys. You destroyed Edina Ukraine.” The journalist did not throw Molotov cocktails, but it was the media that “dehumanized” the “separatists,” just as Goebbels’ propaganda dehumanized the Slavs and Jews before burning and killing them.
Scientists and intellectuals are involved, turning science into a theater of the absurd. Most of the so-called businessmen who enriched themselves due to the collapse of the economic system of the USSR and the merciless exploitation of the falling labor force are involved. Teachers were involved, shedding crocodile tears for the “long-suffering” girl on orders from above. Parents who were in a hurry to look at the TV after work instead of looking at their son or daughter’s textbook were involved. Who raised a daughter who pours a flammable mixture into bottles that are used to burn living, innocent old men and women? Who raised a soldier who shoots civilians in his country?
Or is it no longer yours? How will they obey the police if in Odessa they incited a primitive crowd against the demonstrators, directly participating in the provocation of murders? How to pay taxes if this money is used to form a punitive group that attacks its own peaceful cities?
Those who did not want to serve in the punitive police quit. Those who did not want to serve in the punitive army resigned or did not respond to the summons to the military registration and enlistment office. Not wanting to be in a fascist state, Crimea separated. And now everyone who remains has become hostages of the situation, “tied together” with the blood of innocents, and it does not matter in which region of Ukraine they live.
The 95th airmobile Zhytomyr brigade, which participated in the execution of civilians in Andreevka, will return to calm Zhitomir. Before this, zinc coffins of killed paratroopers who agreed to a punitive operation will arrive there. The paratroopers will go out into the life of the city. The blood of the unarmed will follow them until the end of their days, and even if this state remains and the South-East is suppressed, they will forever lose the honor of the military, just as the state project “Ukraine” lost all honor after Odessa.
Ukrainian intellectual nationalism is very attractive. He talks about subtle culture, boasts of his sophistication. But there are no greater haters of Ukraine than Ukrainian nationalists.
They hate Ukraine with all its depth, because the way it was just six months ago does not fit into their dream. They don’t love Ukraine, they love their dream about it. They are ready to destroy a tense, evil dream, and everything that does not correspond to it. Crimea didn’t fit in, the workers’ Donbass didn’t fit in...
They are still a minority, but they seized power in Kyiv through a coup. They were the ones who destroyed Ukraine. There is not an anti-terrorist operation in Donbass - there is a national liberation war against intervention. This is where the real defenders of the Fatherland are. The state project "Ukraine", created in 1991, has ended.
