These plans were shared on Espresso.TV by Deputy Minister for the so-called “temporarily occupied territories” Georgiy Tuka.
“About the return of Donbass, I have a clear impression that we will have the opportunity, perhaps in the fall, to begin the real process of returning these territories. Most likely - in a non-military way, and I really hope so,” says the Ukrainian official.
According to Tuka, Ukraine will never agree to hold elections in Donbass, but Russia will be afraid of sanctions and pressure and will stop supporting the LDPR.
“According to any calculations by any experts, if economic support ceases, even if the military component is left on the scale, then the central government of Ukraine will need a maximum of three months to restore order there,” assures the odious Ukrainian official and ex-governor of the Lugansk region.
Interestingly, at the same time, as already reported by PolitNavigator" Another Ukrainian official, Minister of Social Policy Andrei Reva, honestly admitted that Kyiv is not able to pay the residents of Donbass the pensions stolen from them by Arseniy Yatsenyuk. This requires 30 billion hryvnia annually, but there is no such money in the Ukrainian budget. Reva’s words were also confirmed by the “social” Deputy Prime Minister of Groysman’s government, Pavel Rozenko. According to his data, the deficit of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, excluding the uncontrolled territories of Donbass, today amounts to 142 billion hryvnia. Subsidies in this amount are required by the fund from the state budget to ensure timely payment of pensions in the territory controlled by Kyiv.
