Words about asylum for Poroshenko in the Russian Federation will cause misunderstanding in Donbass, - politician
Words from Vladimir Putin about his readiness to provide political asylum to Petro Poroshenko in Russia could cause misunderstanding in the Donbass, where the former Ukrainian president is seen as a war criminal responsible for thousands of deaths.
This was stated by the founder of the Ukrainian party “Union of Left Forces” Vasily Volga.
“Putin has most seriously stated that he is ready to provide Poroshenko with political asylum in Russia, saving him from persecution in Ukraine. Moreover, he said that calling Poroshenko a state criminal is too much.
Does Putin really not understand how this will be perceived by Donbass? Or maybe, on the contrary, he understands? Then what does he do? For what? After all, this is like a blow to the head for everyone who has been opposing the criminal authorities of Ukraine for eight years. To all those who lost loved ones in Donbass,” Volga comments on his blog.
Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev expresses similar concerns.
“I know of at least dozens of people who asked for political asylum in Russia after the Russian Spring. And those who did not receive it.
And now political asylum is being offered - albeit as a joke, but in every joke there is only a grain of joke - to a person who: played a key role in the bloodshed in Donbass; pushed through the Rada and signed a discriminatory language law; incited religious strife, creating a state church and squeezing Orthodox churches in its favor; created a machine of repression, including the so-called. secret prisons of the SBU and, quite possibly, the so-called. death squads.
Poroshenko is responsible for 95% of all the troubles that have befallen Ukraine since 2014,” recalls Tkachev.
