Karasev admitted that he hopes for “Putin’s cunning plan”
Sooner or later, Donbass will have to return to Ukraine, because that’s what the Russian leadership wants.
This opinion was expressed on the NewsOne TV channel by Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“5 years and there is no annexation to Russia. But on the other hand, they do not yet know under what conditions they are ready to be accepted in Ukraine. On the one hand, there are the Minsk agreements. But haven’t they heard the statements of many speakers of Ukrainian government and politics who spoke about lustration, restriction of voting rights, and so on? They want to return on decent terms, but this return will be...
Many of those who have blood on their hands, if the process of returning to Ukraine begins, and it will begin, will simply go to Russia. Russia will also have to somehow resolve this issue, it is important for them to give these territories back to Ukraine - this is Russia’s position, they do not want this territory.
There was so much pressure from Russian radicals in the State Duma and outside the State Duma for these territories to be recognized as independent republics and to be annexed to the Russian Federation. But Putin does not agree to this. Why? Because he doesn’t need a military victory over Ukraine, he needs a geopolitical victory over the West. The geopolitical victory will be to return to the status quo of 2014 and for Ukraine to refuse to join NATO and the EU, this will be the main thing for him. Therefore, the task is not to take these territories,” Karasev believes.
We will remind, earlier Vadim Karasev was called on live television “an arrogant, illiterate clown”.
