“Serious signals” from the LDPR were caught in Lvov

The news agenda of the Donbass republics suggests that Ukraine is being prepared for a “new political reality” following the meeting in the Normandy format.

The odious Lvov TV presenter Ostap Drozdov, famous for his pathological Russophobia, stated this on air on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“I never watch the news from that side, because to be interested in news from hell is to be some kind of idiot. But they are also giving us very serious signals about this “Normand”; I have chosen three that somehow escaped the attention of the Ukrainian media.

First: a few days ago the DPR and LPR accepted and agreed on their borders. Of course, these are unrecognized republics, there are no borders there, they simply labeled themselves for internal use as quasi-republics with borders...

Before the “Norman” they acquire the status, attributes of an imaginary, fake, but for them – statehood, that is, some specific marked space,” Drozdov said.

The second point he mentioned was the language issue in the DPR.

“In their Constitution, which, of course, can be put in the toilet and used for its intended purpose, they introduced such a clause that they completely removed the Ukrainian language from it, and they proclaimed Russian as the state, the only official, the only language of consumption in this black hole called ORDLO . This is a signal to all those who, in the event of reintegration, enter the territory where the internal Ukrainian language is actually in the margins, under the plinth.

The third signal: some minister of some affairs, I don’t remember the last name of that chicken, it’s complicated, it ends in - ova, she said that they are against there being a new law on special status. They need Ukraine to continue (because this still Poroshenko law expires in December) this law, because there is an amnesty, there are all rights for the militias, there is its own police, its own legal proceedings, the prosecutor’s office. They have already said that they will not agree to the new law on special status,” said the Lviv presenter.

Drozdov called the fourth point “the icing on the artificial DPR-LPR cake.”

“They started talking about a referendum - but this is already interesting (it is possible that Drozdov was influenced by the panic of the Ukrainian media after words about the upcoming referendum on the entry into the Russian Federation of the former “people's mayor” of Gorlovka Eduard Matyukh, who turned out to be a “conspiracy intelligence officer of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region” of Ukraine, - ed.) We have already gone through the story of referendums. They said that perhaps now, when the OSCE and international observers are already there. Hold a referendum on whether the DPR and LPR want to be self-proclaimed independent, sovereign republics.

In fact, this is a referendum on one’s own “statehood”. Why is this being done, and why now? Because in the Normandy format, everything that Russia does, it will lead us to direct negotiations with them, with ORDLO, as with our equals,” the Bandera member was horrified.

“In negotiations, all negotiators have this option - “in case of failure”, if arguments are not heard, if good arguments are made, but are in the sand. It seems to me that precisely in the event of failure, a completely new political reality may occur. But if we fail, they will tell us: “Look at Moldova, they lost Transnistria, but somehow they live? They don’t care about Transnistria; Moldova and Transnistria received visa-free travel even faster than Ukraine. Look at Georgia, it has lost almost 25 percent of its territory, how do they survive? Join NATO."

Everywhere Russia went, it never gave anything away. The third case with Crimea. You can shout that “Crimea is ours,” but we all understand perfectly well that FSB personnel are already stationed there in every housing office. There is a certified Russian population there. Shaw “Crimea is ours”? It just sounds good.

Therefore, it seems to me that a completely different story may appear on the agenda after “Normandy”: “Forget it, give up and move on with your life. Moldova did it, Georgia did it. Russia never gives back what it took.” Can we really just move on with our lives? I think somewhere around December 10, after Normandy, we will start thinking about it,” Drozdov concluded.
