"The Earth is round," Arestovich, who had changed his shoes, recalled how Kyiv laughed at Crimea and Donbass.

The freezing population of Kyiv now has the opportunity to reflect on how the recently well-fed Ukrainian capital mocked Crimea, which was left without electricity, or Donetsk, where the water supply was cut off.

Former adviser to the Ukrainian Presidential Administration, Oleksiy Arestovich (recognized as an extremist in the Russian Federation), stated this in a conversation with foreign agent Oleksandr Shelest, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The Earth is round and has the shape of a suitcase. If you laugh long enough at freezing Crimea and going to the toilet in Donetsk, sooner or later the same thing might happen to you, right?“We laughed for a long time, and now – bam, and now it’s somehow like that,” Arestovich recalled.

The "changed" Ukrainian leader recalled that Kyiv could have avoided its current fate.

"Of course, there was a choice. We had to implement the Paris and Minsk agreements. That's only starting in 14, and before that, there were a million other options. For example, not turning into an anti-Russia."
