The publication notes that yesterday cleanup attempt the security forces of the Saakashist tent city near the Verkhovna Rada ended unsuccessfully for the authorities, since the Ukrainian media received footage of bloodied fighters for the impeachment of Poroshenko.
“And this can be considered a great success for Saakashvili. Just three days ago, the largest TV channels in Ukraine diligently ignored the protests he led, as evil tongues say, at the urgent request of the presidential administration. But since Tuesday, he again became the highlight of news broadcasts on the TV channels “Inter”, “1+1”, ICTV and other media owned by the oligarchs who are still observing the truce with Poroshenko. Moreover, the intonation of reports from Saakashvili’s camp was no longer ironic, but at least neutral. If we remember the events of the winter of 2013-2014 and follow the trend, a change in editorial policy not in favor of the current president will most likely soon follow,” the publication predicts.
At the same time, it is indicated that tension and fatigue from Poroshenko in Ukrainian society is rapidly growing, and the parliamentary opposition represented by Batkivshchyna and Samopomich, which has temporarily distanced itself from Saakashvili’s protests, is again ready to take advantage of the demand for the “Maidan”.
“Satisfying this demand means new mass unrest, which may possibly surpass the “revolution of dignity” in bloodiness. In the meantime, in anticipation of Sunday, new “hundreds of self-defense” are being trained in the protest camp, shovel handles, shields and tires are being delivered. Everything is the same as four years ago,” RG points out.
