Ukraine: It's time to pay the bills for the 2014 coup
Russia has been raking up the consequences of Yeltsin’s transition of the country to external control for a quarter of a century, while Ukraine has everything ahead. First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov stated this on Channel One, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When Poroshenko thinks about the future of his country and his country, he asks himself whether the West and the United States are ready to support the current Ukraine - and the answer is “yes.” Indeed, the West is ready to support the current Ukraine, and for now it is ready to support Poroshenko.
But when Poroshenko thinks that the West is still ready to pay for it, here he makes a serious systemic mistake. The time is coming when Ukraine must pay the bills for the coup in 2014,” Novikov said.
“We went through a similar period. It is now 25 years since the events when, in the center of Moscow, by order of Yeltsin, the Supreme Soviet was shot, when the legally elected government was shot. The result of these steps by Yeltsin was that Russia was paying for a very long time for this unpopular “support” within Russia that Yeltsin received from the West.
Russia paid with the destruction of its promising sectors of the economy, it paid with the creation of a financial and economic system dependent on the West, and today we still have to create an independent financial and economic system. It paid for itself on a huge scale of social disasters and poverty, and today we still have to decide a lot in order to abandon this legacy,” the Russian diplomat recalled.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier a Kiev expert, summing up the 27 years of “independence” of Ukraine, named the main result: poverty, depopulation, debt and external governance.
