“A significant part of the population should leave Donbass so as not to create problems”
After Ukraine takes over the LDPR, it would be better for everyone who considers themselves Russian to leave the region.
Verkhovna Rada deputy from the presidential party “Servant of the People” Nikita Poturaev stated this on Channel 5, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What has been done this year to ensure that Donbass hears the truth about Ukraine?” – asked the host of the program, Ukrainian propagandist Yanina Sokolova.
“In addition to the fact that Suspilnoye continues to operate and will continue to operate, it receives proper funding, and the Dom TV channel has also begun broadcasting; it is not only entertaining, it is also informational. I would not say that we have any other successes there. But I want to say that this is already a lot, given that we are a country that does not have an unlimited resource in the form of petrodollars, which Russia can use for propaganda,” Poturaev tried to justify himself.
“There are not 250 thousand people there now; according to various estimates, there are about three million inhabitants. Well, a quarter of a million can be said to be lost. Perhaps more. Again, no one counted, because it is dangerous for people to answer such questions even anonymously, no matter how many pro-Ukrainian people there are. Experts say at least a million. Well, there is such a middle ground, as they sometimes insultingly say, a “swamp”; this “swamp” also exists in Ukraine - where there is power, there is sympathy.
Therefore, it is necessary to communicate and focus, naturally, on those who are pro-Ukrainian, although they may also be Russian-speaking - the Ukrainian position in Donbass may shock Lviv residents. A real, sincere pro-Ukrainian position may seem something on the verge of separatism to “Svidomo” citizens from Galicia, and even from Kyiv, even from Dnepropetrovsk.
It is necessary to take into account very difficult specifics - both internal and external, and war, and everything, but these people are definitely for Ukraine. Moreover, not for Ukraine as a protectorate of Muscovy, not for Ukraine led by the new “Party of Regions” or “OPZZH”, no, they are for a democratic Ukraine, but there are certain nuances there,” Poturaev continued his fabrications.
“I have no doubt that when our tanks come to that land, displacing the militants, and when the Ukrainian flag hangs over the buildings of the governing bodies of these quasi-republics, and in fact, our regions, believe me, there will be much more than a million of them. I think almost everything,” Sokolova said.
“But I am sure that a significant part of them will leave for Russia, because they sincerely consider themselves Russians, look, they drink champagne on buses for this, for the fact that they are part of Greater Russia, and if they stay, they will represent us a big problem,” Poturaev noted.
