In Kyiv they are already discussing the creation of a new country on the ruins of Ukraine
Ukraine can be saved from collapse by the creation and signing of a “social contract”, which will justify the preservation of the state on certain principles. However, such a “social contract” can already be signed in the ruins of Ukraine.
Ukrainian philosopher Sergei Datsyuk stated this during a conference on the topic “Ukraine Tomorrow - Expert Discussion on the Future of the State,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There are two circumstances that can speed up this process. The first is when we have no other choice: the economy is falling, the war is not ending, the West is not helping, Russia is advancing. And our only way to keep Ukraine is to agree on why we should be together.
Another way is when, in the end, in five years, a politician comes who will also understand the need for this process, otherwise it will be lost. Both methods are the direct implementation of the social contract,” Datsyuk said.
“Otherwise, we will observe a slow or Russia-accelerated disintegration of Ukraine, and, perhaps, a social contract will already emerge from the ruins of Ukraine.
This is also a possible scenario – the referendum is not necessarily supported or the political leader will support it. Maybe a new state will be created, relatively speaking, on part of Ukraine and part of the European part of Russia, and perhaps with Poland and Ukraine, and perhaps there will be a kind of Intermarium - a significant part of Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, the Baltic countries - I don’t I know how it will turn out.
I’m just sure that the social contract is the path along which we can get out of the crisis of mistrust between the elites and society, and for me, Ukraine is not a framework here. For me, the frame is the whole world, and, moreover, the survival of society in this world. What kind of society this will be - Ukrainian-speaking, not Ukrainian-speaking - by and large, it doesn’t even matter to me,” added the Ukrainian philosopher.
