An unfulfilled plan to suppress the Russian Spring in Crimea was announced in Kyiv
The loss of Crimea is a consequence of a great betrayal of both the Ukrainian leadership and Western curators. Ukrainian TV presenter Dmitry Gordon said this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The history of the annexation of Crimea is a story of great betrayal. And the Ukrainian authorities, first of all, and Western partners, secondly.
Mikheil Saakashvili told me at one time that when Russian troops were marching towards Tbilisi, Western leaders told him: “Miho, let’s run. We give you helicopters, planes, in Tbilisi they are already at the airport, come on, go.”
But he, being a true Georgian and a patriot of his Motherland, continued to resist Russian troops, despite the calls of Western leaders of the first heights. He destroyed his relationship with Obama, with others. He defended his homeland,” he said.
According to Gordon, the Ukrainian authorities, unlike Saakashvili, betrayed their country.
Igor Mosiychuk, an ex-militant of the Azov National Battalion and now a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, who was present in the studio, noted that Saakashvili’s heroism is exaggerated, but this does not diminish the betrayal of the West and the Kyiv authorities.
“In fact, there was a theft. But, as with any theft, in this case it could not happen without accomplices. There were two of them. The then Kiev government, which showed complete impotence, and Western partners.
And I disagree with Mr. Dmitry, because it was not Mikheil Saakashvili who saved Georgia, but Lech Kaczynski, who incited the presidents to fly to Tbilisi.
And if a plane carrying the presidents of Western countries had landed in Simferopol then, there would have been no aggression. And the Ukrainian military was ready to carry out resistance and law enforcement officers as well.
Then some of them came out, fought in Azov next to me, and were volunteers. One of them, a policeman from Sevastopol, is now sitting in “Kresty” in Moscow, a prisoner,” the Ukrainian deputy concluded.
