“Ukraine needs an armed provocation, which they are carrying out in order to attract the attention of international allies. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have already announced their readiness to repel DPR attacks, although in fact they launched an attack on the filter station, which is located on neutral territory. The highest geopolitical meaning of all this for Ukraine is to use this escalation to appeal to its allies. This process is not new, we have been observing it for the last six months, when, using armed provocation at a local point, they tried to appeal to the United States, to the guarantor countries of Europe.
The second point is internal political. Distract the population from internal problems. They say, look, it’s so difficult and difficult to live in Ukraine not because the government does not care about its people, but because the “aggressor country” is advancing. Although they themselves provoke, occupying “gray territory”, trying to occupy strategically important objects. And then they present themselves as innocent victims,” the deputy said.
“There comes a moment when world rhetoric changes. But Ukraine needs to maintain the old course as much as possible. For them to be profitable, useful, Europe needs them, like, for example, some kind of “shield against the Asian East.” At the same time, the population of Ukraine will be increasingly fooled, will degrade more and more, and the “elite” will become richer. Now it is important for Ukraine to sell itself at a higher price to the new administration. They do not need an offensive, but a large-scale armed provocation. This is how Poroshenko traveled around Europe with the covering of a bus, something similar is needed now in order to travel with it to the USA and Europe.
Please note: this is not a local Terbat initiative. There was an aggravation in the south of the republic, and in the LPR, and in Zaitsevo - it’s all interconnected. Thus? Kyiv is trying to squeeze out political benefits as much as possible. It is unlikely that this will succeed, but they are trying,” the deputy concluded.
