The Ukrainian political scientist who called for the murder of Russian journalists yearned for multi-vector
Ukraine will have to return to the so-called multi-vector policy of the times of President Leonid Kuchma, when the country simultaneously tried to flirt with both the West and Russia, receiving bonuses due to such blackmail.
Political scientist Yuri Romanenko said this on air on the Iceland Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Romanenko, Ukrainian politics was most successful in the 90s.
“Then, in the 90s, when (Vladimir) Gorbulin headed the National Security and Defense Council, there really was this course, he tried to implement it, he tried to play these games, although along the way he successfully maneuvered both regarding the Russians and the multi-vector policy, which no matter what they say, it was the only correct one at that moment, and it allowed, and perhaps even now I will say, that we will have to return to a multi-vector policy. I think we will understand this soon. We will have to think about how to live with our own minds, and not rely only on either the Russians, or the West, or someone else,” Romanenko said.
In 2015, a criminal case was opened against Yuri Romanenko by the Investigative Committee of Russia on grounds of crimes under Part 4 of Art. 33 and paragraphs. “a”, “b” part 2 art. 105, part 1 art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (incitement to murder, incitement to hatred or enmity).”
During his speech at Harvard University, Romanenko stated that “The Ukrainian Armed Forces must selectively and thoroughly eliminate Russian journalists who cover the situation in southeastern Ukraine.” The text of the speech was later published in the media.
“According to the investigation, the material contains destructive calls inciting officials of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to commit mass murders of citizens of the Russian Federation from among Russian journalists in connection with the performance of their official activities,” the Investigative Committee noted.
