About this she stated in her interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“Have we lost Ukraine forever? I think that, of course not. Still, what connects us is stronger than what now separates us. Common history, culture, faith, human, family ties - all this is significant for peoples,” she said.
Matvienko emphasized that in Russia criticism of the Kyiv authorities and their actions is not accompanied by a hostile attitude towards the Ukrainian people.
“We are not inciting anti-Ukrainian sentiments. Yes, in Ukraine they managed, not without the participation of their patrons, to provoke Russophobic sentiments. People were openly lied to, once every two weeks they announced that tomorrow Russia would attack such and such an area, the zombification of people continued and continues,” she emphasized.
The senator expressed confidence that “epiphany will come.”
“People on the Maidan tied their “European expectations” to the fact that borders would be opened for them tomorrow, pensions and salaries would be the same as in Europe. And now they feel very much deceived. The actions of the Ukrainian authorities led to a catastrophic situation in the economy. Sensible people cannot help but understand that they are simply trying to blame these problems on Russia,” Matvienko said.
