Zelensky's office: Ukraine is doomed to become an empire
Ukraine is doomed to become an empire because it is a country where representatives of different “cultural codes” live.
Advisor to the head of the Presidential Office Alexey Arestovich stated this on air on the Majlis TV channel ATR, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Arestovich, the very concept of “empire” has been poisoned by Russia, so Ukraine must fill it with new meaning.
“An empire is a country or society that can hold two or more cultural codes at the same time, which does not want to unify. Ukraine is already doomed, consider it, to imperialism, because there are indigenous peoples, there are Ukrainian people and there are other peoples who inhabit it. That is, there is still more than one cultural code,” the official believes.
“In our country this word is poisoned, in fact. We are dependent on Russia in this way. If we want to correct, we must, like Confucius, begin by correcting names. We need to take terms and give them their own meaning, not their Russian connotations,” Arestovich said.
