A political scientist suggested why people are dying in Gorlovka
The aggravation in Donbass may be connected with the interests of Western partners influencing the Ukrainian side, and with attempts to unblock the flows of smuggling with which Parubiy is associated.
Political scientist Alexander Semchenko stated this in a comment to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Russia is not interested in escalating the conflict in Donbass, but Western partners who influence the other side are interested in this. This is the first. We don’t know who started it first, we listen to one side, let’s say the Ukrainian one, they say that they started from that side, but we listen to the Russian side – that Ukrainian terrorists started it. We are not present there. But this is not beneficial for Russia before the World Cup. Secondly, people on the ground also say that this may be due to problems that have arisen with smuggling flows, and it seems that in this way they are trying to unblock smuggling flows. Money is involved here too. You need to look for someone who benefits, who makes money from it. The name Parubiya is named as the one who makes money from this,” he said.
