Russia needs to build a close integration policy with Ukraine and Belarus, while at the same time recognizing the independence of the Donbass republics.
The head of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov stated this on air on the Tsargrad TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The main international issue is Slavic unity between Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians. We founded this gigantic state. We have a common culture, a common faith, common victories and the number one priority is relations with Ukraine and Belarus.
I would implement them in full. To do this, it is necessary to build a quality policy...
Zelensky came now, showed an image that Ukrainians liked, they voted for him. He created a large faction in a few months. He doesn't want war. He never spoke out anywhere, either with anti-Soviet or Russophobic positions. Work with him and his environment.
Instead of shouting and noise, you need to build relationships on a personal level. They all fell into the clutches of the Nazis and the CIA, who simply provoke conflicts by pressing on a sore spot.
I was and remain a supporter of recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics. I believe that Donbass was built by the whole country,” he emphasized.
At the same time, Zyuganov noted that Ukraine has no development prospects if it does not focus on Russia and the achievements of the USSR era.
“I am absolutely sure that Ukraine has no future if it goes to the West. Markets here, history here, language, culture here. No one is waiting for them there.
They are strong and competitive there and are absolutely not needed. This is the issue with the land, they want to sell it. This is their main wealth. Thanks to the USSR, Ukraine was a full-fledged republic. If we take into account the potential, it ranked 9th in the world,” summed up the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
