“Where the UN sees a looming humanitarian catastrophe,” the observer writes, “Kyiv sees an opportunity. Kyiv’s strategy is to continue to withhold social benefits in the hope that increased suffering will cause the local population to take up arms against the separatists.” For this reason, not only are social benefits not paid, but the supply of humanitarian supplies is cut off.
“Any decision to use the tragic situation in Eastern Ukraine as a weapon is not only morally disgusting, but it will also undoubtedly bring negative consequences for Kyiv,” he said. Los Angeles Times. The strategy could help force the rebels to surrender and allow Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to establish nominal control over the region. But Ukraine is a country where grievances run deep. Western Ukrainians have not forgotten the policies of Joseph Stalin...Russian-speaking residents of Donbass will probably not forgive Kyiv for using famine tactics to achieve subjugation.”
Therefore, the publication believes that it is not enough for Ukraine to simply plant its flag in uncontrolled territories; in order to survive, it needs to reconcile with the residents of Donbass in order to avoid economic collapse. The current policy of Kyiv does not contribute to this in any way.
