Putin on Zelensky’s demands: This threatens massacres, like in the former Yugoslavia
Moscow cannot allow the transfer of control over the border with Donbass to Kyiv without guarantees of respect for the rights and safety of local residents. In the current situation, the scenario required by Vladimir Zelensky will result in a massacre, like in the former Yugoslavia.
This was stated by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Ukrainian side always raises the question: let us close the border with troops. Well, I imagine what will happen next. There will be Srebrenica. We saw how Zelensky had a discussion with nationalists. It is not clear who is stronger there, what will happen there, and who will lead the nationalists when they enter these territories without providing guarantees to the people,” the Russian leader said.
Let us recall that during the clashes between Serbs and Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 during the collapse of Yugoslavia, about 8 thousand people died.
Let us note that the day before, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov, said that the border was allegedly may be taken under control of Kyiv by creeping annexation, bypassing the Minsk agreements.
