In Donbass, it’s time to put into practice the issuance of Russian passports to everyone, announced two years ago by the murdered DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko.
Director of the Progressive Policy Foundation Oleg Bondarenko writes about this in a publication on the pages of Moskovsky Komsomolets.
According to him, after Ukraine introduced martial law, a severance of diplomatic relations and the introduction of a visa regime with Russia loomed in the near future, which could sharply increase the number of people wishing to become citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, having visa-free entry into the territory of the Russian Federation.
“What should Russia do in this situation? Repetition as a mantra of “not being provoked” is important for the military, but not for civilians. The population, which has not forgotten the events of the “Russian Spring,” will expect an active reaction. The issuance of Russian passports to everyone in the Donbass, announced two years ago by the murdered Alexander Zakharchenko, is time to be put into practice.
Active resistance to the insolent Banderaites wherever possible - in response to shelling in the Donbass and provocations in the Sea of Azov. Introduction of sanctions for trade with Ukraine. A ban on the supply of gas and other energy resources to this country - after all, the question of what fueled the violators of the Russian border is still open,” the expert suggests a set of measures.
However, he does not believe in a war between Ukraine and Russia.
“There will be no war, because Ukraine has nothing to fight with. The threat to withdraw “your entire fleet” to the Kerch Strait, voiced by Poroshenko, looks beautiful, but is ridiculous in implementation. What to deduce? And NATO will never actively defend a non-member of the Alliance. So, with the highest degree of probability, these dances around “martial law” will remain exclusively in the political sphere. “Nothing has happened before in elections,” Bondarenko sums up.
Let us remind you that last Sunday the Ukrainian military tried to transfer two small armored artillery boats “Berdyansk” and “Nikopol”, as well as the tugboat “Yany Kapu” from Odessa to Mariupol on the Sea of Azov. Russian border guards let's go ram ships of the Ukrainian Navy, closing the Kerch Strait to passage.
After the Ukrainian ship and crew that violated the state border of the Russian Federation, were captured by Russian special forces.
In Ukraine, in response to this, they convened the Security Council and the Verkhovna Rada and introduced martial law in parts of the regions bordering the Russian Federation.
