"Complete idiocy." Babchenko no longer sees a state in Ukraine
The Ukrainian authorities introduced an unreasonably strict quarantine, which has nothing to do with the coronavirus, and now has received the predicted effect - mass discontent of people.
The fugitive Russian liberal propagandist Arkady Babchenko, who managed to take part in a number of scandals in Ukraine and emigrated to Israel, stated this on the Pryamoy TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The question is: is there a state in Ukraine or not? I see that there is no state in Ukraine. What started 1,5 months ago is absolute complete idiocy, with the closure of markets, bridges, a headcount of passengers, the closure of the metro,” Babchenko said.
He boasted that he “now lives in a country in which markets are not closed, they are all working.”
“There wasn’t even a discussion about this here, it didn’t even occur to us to close the markets - this is a question of food security. But in Ukraine, the “order” chewed oakum for a month, when millions of masks were taken out by plane, something was sold somewhere, then they introduced the most severe measures, without substantiating anything at all,” the liberal added.
According to him, the protests of people in Ukraine were expected.
“1,5 months pass, exactly what was supposed to happen happens - what could not help but happen. People pour out into the streets: today they say 12 tons of tsybul were poured into a landfill. People come out and say: “What are you doing? We have nothing to eat,” Babchenko said indignantly.
He believes that “quarantine has nothing to do with the coronavirus itself.”
“From a medical point of view, there is nothing to discuss here, there is no basis. This can be discussed from the point of view of populism or the desire to move with the flow. But it’s impossible to really discuss this,” Babchenko concluded.
