Ogryzko: The creation of Novorossiya failed, and Putin decided to burn out Donbass
Kyiv, August 19 (Navigator, Yuri Kovalchuk) – Russia was unable to implement its scenario for the creation of Novorossiya, and therefore is now concentrating its efforts on destroying the industry of Donbass, delaying negotiations.
This was stated by the former head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (2007-2009) Vladimir Ogryzko on Channel 5.

“The goal of the Russian side is to bring us to the negotiating table with terrorists and thus distance ourselves from the conflict. Therefore, these are negotiations for the sake of negotiations - to show the world community that we are doing something. But you cannot speak with the aggressor in the language of diplomacy.
Today Russia is beginning to shift its emphasis. She failed to do something like Novorossia, something like Transnistria, so now the goal is to destroy the infrastructure. We must completely destroy Donbass as the industrial heart of Ukraine and make sure that we then spend years restoring it. So that we spend money not on modernizing the economy, etc., but on the revival of Donbass. And this also affects tactics - they will talk about anything in order to give the militants the opportunity to continue their work. They are deliberately delaying the situation because they understand that there will be no Crimea No. 2. The scorched earth policy,” says Ogryzko.
