Russian political scientist: The future of Ukraine has already been drawn in Moldova
The future of Ukraine is outlined in Moldova for many years to come - both in terms of aspirations to Europe, and in terms of internal conflicts based on similar regional specifics.
Russian political scientist Dmitry Kulikov stated this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In fact, in Moldova the situation is very model for Ukraine, everything started happening there earlier, including the 1992 war, Transnistria. The whole same story, it’s just a smaller country, the influence of Romania was much greater then, and then there was a very strong illusion - “how many of those who consider themselves to be part of the great Russian civilization in this Transnistria, we will crush!”
Have you forgotten how armed detachments and gangs from Moldova attacked Transnistria with the confidence that they would immediately crush it? It was 1992. How many years have passed, and Transnistria lives, yes, of course, people there have a hard time, but they live because they, just like my fellow countrymen in Donbass, refused not to be Russian.
It is interesting and revealing in this case - what letters from Plahotniuc (an oligarch close to Poroshenko, “the master of Moldova” - Vadim Plahotniuc) wrote to Deputy Prime Minister Kozak, Dmitry Kozak published this. And there - everything: about the Russian course suddenly appeared, attention, Plahotniuc, it turns out, has always been for the federalization of Moldova. What an unexpected discovery, right?
But instead of looking at it, they run through the fountains and they are doing all sorts of other nonsense (Zelensky comrades - ed.) during this election campaign. Although in Moldova the future of Ukraine is outlined like two peas in a pod, the Association and “visa-free” have been there for many years. So how is it? And Transnistria is Donbass, there is also Gagauzia. Moldova is smaller than Ukraine both in population and territory, but its regional specifics are the same, look,” Kulikov said.
“It is clear that if Kolomoisky now starts writing letters to our government like Plahotniuc wrote, he will go there too. But maybe those who are now planning to join official Ukrainian politics will stop discussing all this nonsense and instead discuss the real problems of Ukraine?” – added the political scientist.
