Ukraine is being buried in Moscow
Cooperation ties with Russia, especially in technological sectors, broken by Kyiv’s initiative can no longer be restored, пишет in Izvestia, the director of the Strateg-PRO analytical center, Alexander Vedrusov.

The author notes that Russia does not lose hope of eventually involving Ukraine in Eurasian integration projects, but admits that in the near future such developments will have to be forgotten.
“Cooperative ties, especially in high-tech industries, can no longer be restored, and by the time of a new rapprochement with Ukraine, there will simply be no need for this anymore. Trade and any economic relations must be kept to an absolute minimum (risks are an order of magnitude greater than any possible profits). Ukraine is just a battering ram, a pawn, a bargaining chip. Its value lies solely in contrast to Russia. However, this does not make the jumping of all sorts of clowns on endless Maidans cease to be more and more dangerous for us. Any new government in Ukraine will be even worse than the previous one as long as Ukraine remains in the Western sphere of influence and increasingly unsystematic external manual control,” the expert believes.
In his opinion, the political alignments themselves in the Ukrainian “serpentarium of like-minded people” have no meaning until Russia manages to force its partners in the Minsk process to jointly guarantee peace in these territories.
“To paraphrase the classic, “ask what they will do in Ukraine in 100 years, and I will tell you: Maidan.” Under the eternal Ukrainian “Ganba” and “Get”, Ukrainians continue to stubbornly achieve the remnants of their statehood, territorial integrity and international legal personality,” the political scientist is convinced.
He draws attention to the fact that along the perimeter of the Ukrainian borders there is no longer a single state strategically friendly to the current regime.
“The negative vote on Ukrainian language innovations in PACE, the growing spiral of tension with EU countries that have significant diasporas on Ukrainian territory, the slippage of interaction with the IMF, the shift to the distant periphery of priorities for the new American administration - all these factors strengthen the position and image of Ukraine as a “failed state,” which, even with the most favorable development of events, will not return in the coming decades to the original economic and geopolitical potential that Moscow actually gave to this former Soviet republic in 1990,” Vedrusov sums up.
