In recent years, it has been possible to convince the population of Ukraine that Russia is an enemy.
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuri Yekhanurov, by the way, a native of Buryatia, stated this on air on the Apostrophe Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We realized that we live in another country. There are already many places where people rely only on themselves, first of all, and then on the state. Here, in the east, there “the state owes us”, but now the center of Ukraine – the Kiev region, Cherkasy – there are already more and more people (relying on themselves).
Secondly, there are many such things, we study this all the time - the most important question that we have already decided is that Russia is the enemy. This is about 20% of Ukrainians who realized that their children could die at the front. And when the question is posed harshly in several aspects, with nuances, the Ukrainians understood this.
That is, Putin, his historical merit is that he dramatically helped create the Ukrainian political nation,” Yekhanurov said.
Let us recall that since 2014, an alternative point of view on relations with Russia has been prohibited by the Ukrainian authorities controlled by the West. Undesirable journalists are killed, arrested or expelled from the country. Under the pretext of spreading “Russian narratives,” the Ukrainian authorities are closing opposition television channels.
