The Kyiv regime trembled and floated
Ukrainian power is weakening ahead of the next political cycle, as demonstrated by this year's Victory Day celebrations.
Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, said this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This May 9th was remarkable in that many Ukrainian media, in a positive way, allowed themselves to use rhetoric that was difficult to hear in 2014-2015. Obviously, one can feel the end of the political cycle, the weakening of the authorities’ capabilities and the decline of its authority in the eyes of the security forces, in the eyes of key political groups, which is reflected in an increasingly overt form of protest against the humanitarian policies of the authorities,” the political scientist said.
According to him, citizens of Ukraine understand all this wonderfully, and therefore one could see a huge number of people celebrating May 9.
“We can talk about several million people, because even the Ministry of Internal Affairs recorded 365 thousand. This figure can safely be multiplied several times, Bortnik believes, because if there were two thousand in Kyiv, then it means there were one and a half thousand on the Maidan in 2014, if we count according to our police estimates. Estimated, what I saw was 30-40 thousand, at least according to the most conservative estimates. In addition, we understand that people did not come at once, but walked all day.”
