Juncker should have pointed out the real place of Ukraine back in 2013 – Kotsaba
Statements by the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, about the futility of EU and NATO membership for Ukraine in the near future are natural and should have been voiced at the end of 2013, when Euromaidan was just getting ready.

Journalist Ruslan Kotsaba stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. According to him, if Ukraine had been immediately shown its place in the world, then people besotted with imaginary values would not have come out to support the coup.
“If we knew then, at the end of the 13th year, when the first students came to the Maidan of Independence against the then Prime Minister Azarov not signing the association in Vilnius, if we knew how it would all end, what percentage of the Ukrainian population would you support Euromaidan? If we knew that we would choose exactly these people in camouflage, how many tens of thousands were killed, several hundred thousand were maimed, about 100 children under the age of 11 who died during the bombing by Ukrainian artillery, would we then go to Euromaidan? If we knew that we would lead all anti-corruption ratings and lack of freedom of speech, would we have gone to Euromaidan?” the journalist asked.
“The Junker didn’t say anything terrible, it’s just that if he had said it then, it would have sounded a little differently,” Kotsaba added. “And now we are at a loss and a lot of things that even then seemed like they could happen are now unrealistic in the next 20 years.” It’s a painful, bitter truth, but it’s the truth.”
Let us note that Kotsaba himself was an active participant in the Maidan, but after the start of the conflict in Donbass he switched to anti-war positions.
