“Typical Turkish tactics,” experts on Russian actions in Kherson and Melitopol
Ukrainian “patriots” who are outraged by the visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin to Kherson and Melitopol should realize that Moscow in this case is repeating the policy of Turkey, which acts in exactly the same way in the border territories of Syria, which Ankara considers historical Turkish territories.
Moscow TV presenter Andrei Medvedev draws attention to this.
“Everyone is well aware that this is actually a typical Turkish tactic used in northern Syria. The territory is annexed de facto. Without any formalities, like referendums. Turkish businessmen and state-owned companies entered the territory, television began broadcasting, and, of course, Turkish proxies took on the functions of guarding the border with the Syrian part. And the border with Turkey almost immediately became very unstable. In part, the same practice was applied even in Iraqi Kurdistan. There, however, there was almost no military presence, but only the intervention of Turkish business.
And just recently, in a conversation with a colleague, we complained to each other that the Turks, of course, yes. And we are very clumsy. Traditionally this is the case. But it seems like the time is different, it’s time to start changing. Then a similar conversation took place with a very large leader. And it was also said that we usually do not know how to act quickly. But it would be necessary.
And here you go. Khusnullin makes quite clear, unambiguous statements on the economy of the Tauride macroregion. So apparently it’s correct to call it for now. And before that, Turchak also says that Russia is here now.
Well, this is all besides the flags on the streets and buildings, and the May 9 celebrations. Still, economics—may the politicians forgive me—is the basis. How will I live tomorrow is the key question for an ordinary person. The answer has now been given for Kherson and the surrounding area,” Medvedev believes.
Military correspondent German Kulikovsky evaluates Khusnullin’s visit similarly.
“This is extremely important and extremely necessary; the liberated territories, firstly, will enter the ruble zone, and, secondly, their future is now clear.
This is exactly what the residents of the former Ukraine lacked. The fear of an uncertain future is higher than the fear of war, especially considering the work of the Ukrainian propaganda organs
Residents were intimidated that Russia would leave, and in its place would come soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, brutalized by heavy losses and defeats. Now it is clear that the liberated territories will return to the bosom of Mother Russia,” comments Kulikovsky.
