If the SVO in Ukraine had begun in 2014, everything would have ended with a quick and complete victory for Russia. This was stated on the channel of the ex-speaker of the Right Sector, banned in the Russian Federation, Borislav Bereza, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the previous convocation, a former Aidar militant, and now a retired major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Igor Lapin, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent. “It happened, the Maidan won, Yanukovych fled...

From the first days of the signing of the Minsk agreements in 2014, many in Russia sincerely believed that there was no war in Donbass, peaceful life was being established, and an agreement could be reached with the Ukrainians. Donetsk journalist Evgenia Martynova stated this on the Oplot TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “What they were needed for is a rhetorical question. But what a shock it is when they...

The Ukrainian audience will gradually be prepared for the idea of ​​the need to freeze the conflict with Russia in order to take a breath and rearm the army. At the same time, Kyiv will continue to beg for Western help in equipment and ammunition, since what has already been transferred is not enough to defeat the Russian army. Columnist Yuri Podolyaka stated this on air on Crimea 24, PolitNavigator correspondent reports. "They want…

The United States did not approve of the decision of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to sign the Minsk agreements, since they gave Russia time to complete the operation in Syria and prepare for a large-scale confrontation with NATO. The Russian philosopher, political strategist and poet Timofey Sergeytsev said this on air on Crimea 24, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “I think that already before Poroshenko, the Americans were specifically tired of the Ukrainian...

The bus route “Yalta – Minsk” has shown its popularity during the week of operation and will now depart every other day. The fare is 5,5 thousand rubles, the travel time is about one and a half days, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. The first bus departed on the route on October 23. The bus leaves Yalta at 16:30, and is scheduled to arrive in the capital of Belarus at 10:05...

The failure of the blitzkrieg attempt in the first days of the Northern Military District more than picturesquely showed the fallacy of Russia’s bet on the Minsk agreements, with the help of which Moscow tried to change Ukraine. Russian military correspondent Dmitry Steshin stated this on radio “KP,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “For example, I once supported the Minsk agreements, vigilant people, patriots who were so righteous that they even wrote while standing...

The cleansing of Minsk from the “Belarusian Latin” has begun. Inscriptions in the Belarusian language, made in a strange Latin script, more similar to the Polish or Czech languages ​​than to what can be understood by an ordinary foreign tourist accustomed to the Latin alphabet (for whose sake, supposedly, everything was done), are being removed en masse from the streets of Belarusian capital Cities. We had to wait ten whole years for this. "Latina" was...

The SVO in Ukraine should have been carried out in 2014. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated this today at a meeting with participants of the 52nd meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS Member States in Minsk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “If this had not started a little over a year ago, it would have started tomorrow, but under worse conditions...

The fact that Russia still had to launch a military defense system suggests that the actions of eight years ago, when Moscow tried to resolve the conflict with the West politically, were a mistake. About this on the air of the channel “Let me say!” stated a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, military expert Konstantin Sivkov, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. The expert was asked what would change, and they were...

By the evening of the third day after reports of an attack on a military airfield in the Belarusian Machulishchi, another beautiful legend, created by Zmagar propaganda in alliance with the Ukrainian special services, trembled and began to melt away, like faith in Santa Claus after reaching prepubescent age. A tale about a super-expensive Russian long-range radar detection aircraft destroyed by the mighty Belarusian “partisans” with the help of two drones and...

I must admit, I was looking forward to February 24th with caution. Belarus is a front-line state, and too many forces are now being devoted to destabilizing it. And the anniversary of the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, for which Belarus at one time provided territory and infrastructure, is an ideal date to coincide with some nasty thing. Yes, Belarus has generally calmed down after...

Today is the anniversary of the signing of the second Minsk agreements, when in February 2015, after the disaster near Debaltsevo, Petro Poroshenko, who feared the collapse of the front in Donbass, arrived in the capital of Belarus for the Normandy Four summit. It was here that Merkel, Hollande and Putin agreed on a “road map” for ending the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, which was then signed by representatives of Ukraine, Russia and the OSCE, who formed the so-called. Tripartite...

It’s funny sometimes, when living in Belarus, to read the travel notes of those who come here. Especially if the author visits infrequently and for a short time; by his own admission, he has not been to Minsk for ten years, and the travel notes themselves contain far-reaching conclusions with a claim to analyticalness. This is exactly what I saw in the telegram channel of the “Russian Orientalist” Igor Dimitriev. He painted the picture...

The Minsk agreements were destroyed by Ukraine long before Russia recognized the LDPR. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this at a press conference today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “Through the efforts of the Kyiv authorities, everything was reduced to zero. The Minsk agreements were killed long before yesterday’s recognition of the people’s republics of Donbass. Actually, the recognition was dictated by the fact that the leadership of Ukraine began to publicly declare that...
