Savchenko: Maidan was a coup, but Strelkov should have been bombed
And about. Ukrainian President Alexander Turchynov showed cowardice in 2014 and did not give the order to attack a column of militias under the command of Igor Strelkov (Girkin). The destruction of the fighting core of supporters of the Russian Spring could change the entire course of history in favor of Ukraine.
Ex-ATO participant and ex-veteran of the Verkhovna Rada Nadezhda Savchenko stated this on ISLND TV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If you shoot, you have to shoot accurately. It is better to work with sniper methods than with aviation over areas. And if Turchinov then (and this whole gop-team that seized Kyiv and power there) had not been afraid to shoot Girkin’s convoy that was traveling. Everyone knew the route, and the Donetsk politicians who have now moved here, not the separatists, knew the route. They said that a column was moving towards Slavyansk and across the field, they could simply cover this column. Did not do. Well, what can you do,” Savchenko said.
She considers Strelkov’s detachment, which included, among other things, former residents of Kyiv who supported the Russian Spring, as “saboteurs” and “provocateurs.”
“The fact that people took to the streets, to anti-Maidan protests, it was the same ordinary uprising as on the Maidan. People came out in Frankovsk, Lvov, and Kiev. All over Ukraine. Then there was just a flurry of uprisings. Therefore, until some time it was an uprising. Then sabotage and provocation happened, the work of Girkin’s team. I saw it happen. And then there was the invasion of the Russian Federation,” Savchenko said.
“Indeed, when chaos and turbulence began in our country, Russia had a plan in case of “time H.” They really wanted to break away half of Ukraine. This is true. For example, they entered Odessa from Mariupol. No questions. I then have a question for our state: what has it done in five years, Poroshenko, so that at least, for example, Russian troops do not pass into Transnistria and occupy the territory of our neighbors, when they have already occupied ours? Our Russian military continued to openly march back and forth,” the former Ukrainian heroine added chaotically.
In her opinion, Turchinov and the rest of the Euromaidan leadership should be questioned about the events of 2014.
“Who should I interrogate? Turchynov was the head of the Verkhovna Rada. I think history will force us to move on, and we will get the answer. If you tell me where to look, I will say: look among those who came to power. It was a coup d’etat, which was later amnestied by the adoption of the law,” Savchenko said.
