New zrada from Arestovich: “Borders are always changing. I don't care much about that."
As a result of the conflict with Russia, there is a high probability that Ukraine will not remain in its previous form. Aleksey Arestovich, a former adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine, said this on the video blog of political scientist Yuri Romanenko, who was put on the wanted list in the Russian Federation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Arestovich, borders are not something worth sacrificing a huge number of lives of the country’s citizens for.
“To be honest, I don’t care much about its real boundaries. Borders change all the time, I can remind you that even before the war, before 14, Ukraine changed its borders and entered into a territorial dispute over the border. Moreover, our borders are not demarcated in many places along its length, and somehow we lived and did not worry about it. They changed the borders, gave Moldova a piece so that it would have access to the sea, and the territorial dispute is a dispute with Romania over Zmeiny Island and, accordingly, over transport routes to Odessa, territorial waters, exclusive economic zone, etc.,” said the ex-adviser OP.
“And no one died because the borders changed, and the republic did not cease to exist just because the borders changed. Borders are constantly moving back and forth, you can worry about that. We need to get used to the fact that state borders change, and this is normal. Therefore, it is possible to fight for borders and put millions and thousands of people, tens and hundreds behind borders, but not for borders in themselves, but in order to defend one’s political will,” Arestovich said.
