Ostensibly defending the interests of the South-East, the “Opposition Bloc”, which had remained silent about the ongoing murders of Donbass residents by the Ukrainian army, suddenly burst out with an emergency statement due to the introduction of external management at the enterprises of Ukrainian oligarchs in the LDPR, although this step was taken by the republic in response to Kiev’s refusal to remove blockade that continues despite the Minsk agreements.
DPR parliament member Miroslav Rudenko drew attention to this behavior of the Opposition Bloc in a commentary to PolitNavigator.

“The blockade was never lifted. And those who tried to lift the blockade were arrested. I regard this as the next stage of intra-oligarchic squabbles.
Against this background, the statement of the Opposition Bloc party is very interesting, which very well characterizes this political force. It’s been three years since Donbass has been shelled, three years since this so-called “anti-terrorist operation” began. And during all this time there was not a single loud statement from this party.
But as soon as we started talking about external management, a statement from this party immediately appeared about the inadmissibility of transferring enterprises under external management, about the need to lift the blockade, about the need to implement the Minsk agreements, that they are ready to adopt all the necessary laws provided for by Minsk, and also a requirement for the entire Verkhovna Rada to support them.
That is, when the people of Donbass were shelled, there were no such statements from this party. And as soon as the speech touched on their assets, their “principled position” immediately arose.
This very eloquently characterizes the people who previously represented the political and economic elite of the region. These are those who owned enterprises in the Donbass and made a profit,” Rudenko noted.
