About it сообщает in his blog, the director of the Center for Eurasian Studies, Vladimir Kornilov, quoted an editorial from the business newspaper Financial Times.
“It is quite possible that, despite the risks, Ukrainian troops provoked clashes in order not to fall out of the zone of world attention.

“That is, you see, this time they even admit that Ukraine, and not the Donetsk “separatists,” was the culprit for the aggravation of the conflict (it’s difficult to argue with this when there are so many facts to support it). But at the same time, they still demand to “punish Russia” and, moreover, are even shocked by the fact that the Trump administration, calling for an end to the massacre, did not name Russia guilty. That is, they are not even shy about directly pointing out their double standards! In the article you will not find even a hint of a call to Ukraine to stop the conflict and provocations, even despite the actual recognition of who initiated them,” Kornilov emphasizes.
