Ishchenko explained why Russian troops have not yet occupied Ukraine before Lvov
Global players are busy resolving their own issues; it is easier for them not to be distracted and maintain the fake Ukrainian statehood, rather than then spend money on resolving the tangle of problems of divided regions that Ukraine will turn into.
Russian political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko stated this on the YouTube channel “Media Club Format A-3,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The collapse of Ukraine is now beneficial only to Ukraine, or rather, to the Ukrainian people. The sooner the terrible end comes, the less this horror will drag on without end. The collapse of Ukraine eliminates the very legal function of the Ukrainian state. While it exists, there is no state, no society, no power, the army resembles a gang, the police are worse than a gang. But legally the state exists, and nothing can be done about it,” Ishchenko determined.
However, in his opinion, global players still prefer to maintain the status quo.
“Global political players play on the scale of the entire planet, and there are too many contradictions and complexities to allow themselves to divert scarce resources to the development of any particular territory...
It is cheaper for everyone to preserve this statehood than to resolve issues arising in connection with its disappearance. Therefore, for example, Russia has never taken advantage of any of the Ukrainian provocations, which made it possible long ago to occupy this territory right up to Lvov and forget about the existence of the Ukrainian state,” the political scientist emphasized.
He believes that the occupation of Ukraine by Russian troops would bring unnecessary headaches for the Kremlin.
“Seizing a territory and solving economic issues, holding it, bringing it back to normal are completely different things. And in the conditions of global confrontation, it is clear that for Russia this kind of unstable territory with a very disloyal population, because even the population loyal to Russia is very different from the Russian loyal population, it has a different loyalty,” summed up Rostislav Ishchenko .
