“The Russian Federation did not understand what it wanted from Ukraine” – Russian journalist
The massive aggressive madness of Ukrainians in the Poltava region towards evacuees from China was a consequence of the processes of the 1990s.
Sergei Strokan, a political observer for the Kommersant newspaper, stated this on NTV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This madness didn’t start in 2014, but much earlier,” Strokan said. “Without the Maidan of 2004 there would not have been the Maidan of 2014, and the first Maidan would not have happened without what happened in the 90s... A corrupt, thieving government, which we also supported here, believing that it was a conditionally pro-Russian government.”
According to the expert, what happened in Novi Sanzhary especially shocks him, since the journalist spent his childhood not far from those places. According to his memoirs, the Poltava region in those years was “the center of Ukraine,” with “undistorted Ukrainian identity, without Bandera and Surzhik.”
“A month before the Maidan, I came to my native Dnepropetrovsk, walked through the streets, talked with classmates, they told me the Donetsk Sasha “Dentist” is squeezing out the business, give this away, then give it back, and this is the explanation for why the Maidan,” Strokan said. – These are not Nuland cookies, my classmates bought stewed meat, blankets and sent them to the Maidan. Because they couldn’t solve anything in the legal field.”
The Russian journalist is confident that Russia bears part of the responsibility for the events in Ukraine.
“I believe that since the 90s we have not had a clear Ukrainian strategy and policy. We did not understand what we wanted for Ukraine... Our policy is situational, it has no strategy. And we, unfortunately, missed the moment when Ukraine slipped on the orange crust,” the expert added.
Earlier it became known that the leadership of Ukraine tried hush up the story of the Georgian snipers who fired on the Maidan.
