Such an opinion Gennady Korban, an associate of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, said in an interview with the Ukrainian publication Gordon.
“Shortly before the presidential elections of May 2014, Poroshenko came to us in the Dnepropetrovsk region, was extremely friendly, and consulted on how to resolve the situation in Donbass. We were deep in the material and by that time we had quietly and without casualties liberated four districts of the Donetsk region and the city of Mariupol, and hung Ukrainian flags there. We created a security belt primarily for the Dnepropetrovsk region,” recalls Korban.
According to his current words, Kolomoisky then allegedly told the future president of Ukraine that it was absolutely forbidden to act by military means.
“Kolomoisky directly told Poroshenko: “If you unleash a full-scale war, bring in artillery, you will receive a symmetrical response from Russia, because the border is open.”
According to “strategist” Korban, “it was necessary to act by other methods: slowly move deeper, bribe, pit local gangs against each other, even give them a piece of the pie, but with one condition - the Ukrainian flag. Moreover, at that time the center of the war was in Slavyansk, where Girkin was sitting, and in Donetsk and Lugansk everything was more or less. Understand that Donbass has a feudal system, the inhabitants were slaves who were mercilessly exploited by three to five people. As soon as they fled, a vacuum was created, which meant that there was an opportunity to raise the remnants of the local elites and tell them: “Do you want to take a place? Borrow. But only under the Ukrainian flag.”
Moreover, it turns out, according to Kolomoisky’s ally, in the spring of 2014 there was no Russian influence in the Donbass at all, but a kind of Donetsk Maidan against feudalism.
“Of course, the Russian special services were working, but they could have been suppressed, as we did in Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Zaporozhye and Odessa. Yes, there would have been losses in Donbass, but absolutely not comparable to today’s. This would not be a conflict with artillery, tanks, aviation...
Politicians with their ambitions interfered with us. Yes, Ukraine found itself in the position it found itself in, well, learn to talk, take off the crown, negotiate, explain to the people what will happen if a full-scale war breaks out! We did not want to be responsible for the victims, so we fought selflessly for every life. You must always remain human, and not imagine yourself as Napoleon and conduct a type of victorious offensive march performed by the idiot Geletey“, concluded Korban.
At the same time, Gennady Korban modestly kept silent about the role of his boss and the Privat group in unleashing an atmosphere of terror and hatred in the country after the victory of the Maidan. About billboards with promises of money for captured “separatists.” On the financing of neo-Nazi volunteer battalions. Finally, about the role of Kolomoisky’s media in inciting hatred in the country.
