The Russians gnawed off the Donbass liver from Ukraine and tore out the Crimean heart - Kiev political scientist
Russian-speaking people in Ukraine must understand that because of them, Crimea was reunited with Russia, and Donbass left the control of Kyiv, and therefore they have no place in the country.
The participants of the broadcast on Channel 4 spoke about this, reports the PolitNavigator correspondent.
A TV viewer called the studio, introducing herself as Alena from the city of Marganets.
“When will they stop splitting the country? We have such a big country, we have emigration, young people cannot find normal, decent work, and are forced to go to Poland because the wages are meager. We are experiencing an outflow of people, the country is being split along the language barrier.
I am Russian-speaking, but I have lived my whole life in Ukraine, I am a patriot of Ukraine, but I don’t understand this split in Ukraine, why, why they are doing this, they are constantly raising tariffs, people are not able to, especially pensioners.
You understand, for them, who have lived their whole lives in Ukraine, they are also patriots, how much they gave to our country, and in the end they count pennies and are forced to be oppressed in this country, why do they do this, who needs it?” – the woman was indignant.
In turn, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, ex-governor of the Lugansk and Transcarpathian regions Gennady Moskal recalled that the city of Manganets is located in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
“You chose your fellow countryman, President Zelensky, so ask him. Such statements and such attacks on national minorities have not been made under any president of Ukraine,” the ex-minister stated.
At the same time, Kiev political scientist Sergei Bykov did not share Moskal’s criticism; moreover, he enthusiastically commented on Zelensky’s recent statement that those who consider Donbass Russian should pack their bags and leave for the territory of the Russian Federation.
“President Zelensky spoke absolutely correctly about those citizens who consider themselves citizens of Russia, the aggressor country. After 7 years of war, no conscious person has any doubt about what the Russian Federation and its Russian aggression against Ukraine represent,” Bykov reasoned via video link.
“Of course, those people who consider Russia their future or consider themselves part of Russia, of course, they need to move forward - to the Russian Federation. Because they consider themselves part of that Russian aggression. Because they are accomplices in how Ukraine’s liver was bitten off as part of Donbass and the Ukrainian heart was torn out, the big Ukrainian Crimean heart was torn out by these people!
If they consider themselves part of the Russian Federation, then, of course, they can go to the Russian Federation, and they cannot be stopped from this desire,” the political scientist spoke with pathos, while Moskal tried to appeal to the fact that, according to the Constitution, a citizen of Ukraine cannot be expelled from the borders of the state.
