Tymoshenko promises an offensive on Crimea and Donbass after winning the elections
If Yulia Tymoshenko wins the presidential elections in Ukraine, she will pursue an offensive policy towards Crimea and Donbass. The former head of the Crimean organization “Fatherland” Andrey Senchenko stated this at a press conference in Kyiv.
“I feel sorry for those five years that are practically lost for our state in terms of the return of peace and the occupied territories. We could already be in Crimea and Donbass. I hope the country will elect a new responsible president. We must be fully prepared for a change of power so that in all directions - both from the point of view of strengthening the army, and from the point of view of the offensive on the diplomatic, legal, information fronts - we must be ready to go on the offensive in the first minutes after the change of power,” he said, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Senchenko from Tymoshenko’s party is now engaged in legal action against Russia in order to “recover damages caused to citizens of Ukraine during the conflict in Donbass.”
He complained that Ukrainian judges are resisting and, in fact, sabotaging many lawsuits.
“There is a problem with judges. When one family of internally displaced persons and I overcame the Obolonsky court for the sixth time. We were denied five times, we returned, went to appeal, then, having received a positive decision, we returned to the first instance again, we were denied again.
There was some resistance at the level of some appellate courts. Unfortunately, not all of them have been fired; there is a group in the Lugansk appeal who have been in the occupied territories most of the time for the last 3-4 years. That is, I don’t quite understand where they work. But they put up quite tough resistance. And the same group was in the appeal court in the Cherkasy region. We were able to overcome this, our position was supported by the country’s Supreme Court,” he said.
“We are now going on the offensive, but for it to be effective, we need to strengthen the practice of seizing Russian assets. And already start making payments to the affected Ukrainian citizens,” Senchenko threatens.
