The sponsors of the Ukrainian national battalions are behind Yuriy Boyko, - Donetsk sociologist
Yuri Boyko, who is considered to be nominally the most pro-Russian of all the participants in the presidential elections in Ukraine, is surrounded by sponsors of the Ukrainian punitive nationalist battalions that took part in the suppression of the Russian uprising in the Donbass.
Donetsk sociologist Evgeniy Kopatko stated this on the TV channel TVC, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I have great respect for Boyko, but the people who stood behind him also financed battalions in the Donbass,” Kopatko said
In his opinion, Moscow must realize that after 2014 there are no usual rules of the game in Ukraine.
“...They pulled you in, put you on another board, offered to play Chapaev where you wanted to play chess. You already went through this situation in 2014, you recognized the elections, and in five years everything bad that could happen in Russian-Ukrainian relations happened... we have come to the ruins of our relations, we are looking at the elections that will happen now - there will be no rules of the game ", Kopatko said.
According to him, the phenomenon of Vladimir Zelensky is victory due to the votes of the “Russian anti-Russian electorate” - residents of the South-Eastern regions of Ukraine, who, after five years of censorship and processing by propaganda, largely take an anti-Russian position.
“This is a Russian, excuse the oxymoron, anti-Russian electorate, which Zelensky beautifully and skillfully took on,” the sociologist said.
