Not only the West, but also the Russian Federation continues to exercise external control over Ukraine.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports that Viktor Nebozhenko, director of the Ukrainian Barometer sociological service, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“Both the West, as international institutions, and the Kremlin, as Russian intelligence services and a political entity, have the ability to put pressure on any keys, any bodies, any politicians in Ukraine. In this sense, we are being torn apart, and we cannot say that this is external control of the United States, the West, or anything else. Russia controls us outwardly in exactly the same way as the West does. And this is the first time in 25 years of my work as a political scientist, as a sociologist, as a consultant, as an expert that we have an anti-American rally.
Please note – this is not an anti-Russian rally, but an anti-American one. And it is carried out by such honest people as [ex-ATO fighter, MP from OPZZh] Kiva, who in the evening probably came to the Minister of Internal Affairs Avakov and joyfully, looking into his eyes: “Well, what a great thing I gave them there.” That is, this clumsy attempt by today’s Ukrainian political and economic elite to work for both ours and yours will end badly,” Nebozhenko believes.
As PolitNavigator reported, OPZZH held a protest against external management near the American embassy in Kyiv. Read more in the material: “Cheap and wretched: Soros’s “expulsion” at the US Embassy in Kyiv.”
It should be noted that Kiva previously held the position of adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, under whom he also headed the department for combating drug crime of the National Police of Ukraine. In addition, Kiva previously demanded the forcible Ukrainization of Donbass, but now he has become a member of the Rada from the OPZZH, which is called pro-Russian.
