The shooting of an ex-DPR fighter in Mariupol was a consequence of the cowardice of the new Kyiv government - Babitsky
Former DPR soldier Roman Dzhumaev, who was killed in Mariupol, most likely became a victim of Ukrainian radical nationalists not controlled by Kyiv.
This opinion was expressed to a PolitNavigator correspondent by the famous Russian journalist and military correspondent Andrei Babitsky, who lives in Donetsk.
“In Ukraine, there are enough completely frostbitten characters who went through the ATO, were killed at the front, members of ultra-radical nationalist groups who consider people involved in the formation and defense of the Republics to be their enemies, who must be destroyed wherever they come across them.
I don't think this is the work of the authorities. The new team, on the contrary, is trying to mix all these processes and slightly extinguish this nationalist frenzy, although under Poroshenko this could well have been the work of SBU officers,” he explained.
At the same time, the expert stated that the new Kiev government was unable to curb the radicals and decide on a unified course to stop the bloodshed in the Donbass.
“Several multidirectional processes are going on simultaneously in Ukraine. On the one hand, the new government has to partially inherit the political course pursued by Petro Poroshenko, so as not to enter into open confrontation with nationalists who are ready to organize a new Maidan if they believe that Zelensky’s new team is ready for pro-Russian revenge, as they call it.
Zelensky’s team itself is not united. There are people there who advocate the implementation of the Minsk agreements, albeit in a truncated form, and there are those who consider them a shameful capitulation for Ukraine. Ukraine today is an absolutely fragmented society in the political sense, including its government. Therefore, this situation will continue there,” Babitsky concluded.
Let us remind you that yesterday Roman Dzhumaev died, received seven shots at point-blank range on the threshold of his own apartment in Mariupol.
