И каква врска има сето ова што го напиша со тоа што ти го болдирав во твојот пост. Каква врска има демократијата со чистење на теренот пред избори посебно со артилерија. Единствено што можи некој да чисти пред избори посебно демократски е комуналец.
Тоа погоре беше од причина што ме етикетира за про-западен.
Друга работа, никој не рекол дека украинската влада е демократска.
Во Украина денес има борба за превласт, за целовитост на Украина или создавање на Новорусија.
Демократија во Украина немало долго време.
И последно, не сум се впуштал во некои предвидувања претходно, но мислам дека Донецката Република и проктот за Новорусија е при крај.
Денес излегоа вести дека сепаратистите барале кордон за евакуација.
Еве мислење на пообјективен русин.
The rebels expected the events in Odessa and the subsequent public support for them in Russia to make Putin and the government support them. Putin simply chose not to - he won Crimea relatively unscathed, both in terms of damage to infrastructure and the political fallout that followed, but attempting to fold parts of mainland Ukraine back into russian territory proper is simply too high of a risk to something barely akin to a reward.
The political and economical fallout would be enormous - it would hurt both Russia and the EU tremendously. - and to add onto that, the economic burden of raising both crimean and ukrainian living standards to russian levels is an undertaking in itself.
The rebels really are on their own in the field - sure, they're financed by Party of Regions oligarchs such as Yanukovitch, but they're hopelessly outmatched in terms of firepower, and the russian government isn't willing to neither sell or donate the necessary military equipment, such as vehicles and high-end gear, for the tides of battle to turn. The rebs are stuck with infantry weapons, and older models of anti-armour and anti-air.
They're in an increasingly hopeless situation - no support from the russian government while being faced with paramilitary NG (National Guard) troops and foreign mercs. There is no conclusive proof of foreign mercs being present in Ukraine, but it certainly isn't the Interior Ministry troops, Far-Right nationalists, maidanists, or local oligarch militias that are driving the seps back. The NG was, afterall, formed based on loyalty to the new government, regardless if that loyalty was based off money, idealism or genuine loyalty to the state, rather than professional military.
My take on it is, that it's the foreign mercs that lead the offensives and overall military operations, while the ukrainian NG handle policing of the local area, manning checkpoints, etc. Journalists arrent likely to be in the midst of the war, so what experience they do have of the NG usually comes from filming checkpoints, training camps, and the policing that they do in cities.
I am obviously Anti-Kiev, as I believe the government to be illegitimate and that the entire thing was essentially one clan of oligarchs overthrowing another clan of oligarchs. With that said, I do believe this year's events will lead to a radical change in ukrainian society and mentality, whether for better or worse is yet to be seen.
As for the actual questions..
Do you view any future for DNR?
- Russia has clearly signaled that it is not willing to support the DNR, and while there undeniably was a huge turnout for the vote, only the die-hard separatist gunmen are willing to fight for the DNR, and everyone else would prefer to live in peace, regardless of regime.
Has Kievs handling of the situation chocked, suprised or angered you?
- When it was reported that the IMF deal demanded Ukraine to remain whole, for it to be valid, I read it as that the IMF money was going to reestablishing control over East Ukraine firsthand. The political fallout of the ATO (anti-terrorist operation) and subsequent events has been relatively minor when you consider events like Odessa and Mariupol. I'm surprised by the efficiency. Perhaps I shouldn't be.
My answer for the next question also applies to the crimean question.
How do you expect Russia will play the game from here and forward?
- Russia played its hand in Crimea, and has since then been working on reintegrating Crimea into the state apparatus. I find the probability of an ukrainian nationalist retaliation in Crimea pretty high, in the style of the current pro-russian separatist movement in Eastern Ukraine. They'll find some obscure town that sympathizes with them in Crimea and just sit there with guns. Just like Slovyansk. Eitherway, they'll likely look to stir up trouble in Crimea once the Eastern Ukrainian conflict is over with. Internationally, though, Crimea is now obviously Russia. The arguments in favor of that are stronger than the semantics of international law(that nobody cares about, when its their interets at stake, anyway)
Одговор на Украинец:
Putin was wrong with his predictions when he started the campaign on Russian TV widely watched in the east, invoking history and inspiring with the raise of Novorossiya, expecting to have more pro-Russian support, and that having the army at the border would give a sense of support and backup to separatists so they could act confident, and bring unrest to the whole east, enough to divide Ukraine and make the east a puppet state serving as a buffer zone between Russia and the EU. This would be the plan B, since the plan A which was to make the whole Ukraine as such buffer, having Yanukovich as a Russian puppet acting as a quasi dictator, serving the Kremlin in exchange for protecting and impunity for his wealth raised from theft and corruption.
The costs with the annexation of Crimea plus the sanction are hitting Russian economy, and he knows there's more to come if Ukraine reached political balance after elections, which will lead to further actions regarding Crimea. Best act carefully now and admit that Ukraine is lost but continue in secrecy keeping Ukraine unsafe and put pressure on it government by the continuous terrorists activity which will divert attention from the Crimea situation until it settles without much political damage.
I believe if the election succeed, Ukraine will get more stable and slowly start improving its economy, dropping significantly its ties with Russia, implement regulations that will drop corruption and improve transparency which will make it win opportunities on other international markets. But terrorists will be once in a while attacking here and there for a few years to come so Ukraine can be reminded that Russia didn't let go its influence and power in the country, but it will only be distancing Ukraine from Russia more and more.
