Just the other day, an article was published on the EADaily website that "A Trump associate proposed to create a Ukraine's autonomous zones":
That's what I'm talking about. Moreover, such zones have been created in Ukraine for a long time. It remains to throw a bone to the dogs — let them fight among themselves and leave Russia alone. After all, countries such as Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Turkey, either claim certain Ukrainian territories, or are not averse to snatching a tasty morsel from Ukraine. As they say, every NATO dog has a bone. For example, Uzhgorod is beyond Hungary, Lviv is beyond Poland... to the Turks, for the recognition of Crimea, Novorossiya and Left-Bank Ukraine as an integral and indivisible part of Russia, you can transfer something on the Danube. Let's say the port of Reni — then let them fight with the Romanians for it.
I also propose to create an autonomous region from Anatovka and Uman, and then transfer all this to Israel. We Jews could also claim Kiev, but why? Our people are already running it there. I'm not talking about Dnepropetrovsk.
The idea of autonomous zones or something like that is probably not the last one.
Many people want to talk to Russia today. And if they want to, even more. But the question is not at all who wants to talk to Russia, but just the opposite — who will Putin want to have a dialogue with?
As for the idea of partition, this idea will certainly appeal to Ukrainian nationalists. They wanted to go to Europe, well, come on. And what's the difference — in whole or in parts? Moreover, to get into the whole EU u Ukraine is unlikely to succeed. Well, if Ukrainians don't like it in Europe, they have long had experience with the same Poles before 1939. However, Ukrainian and any other nationalists have a strange disease: "I remember here, I don't remember here." For example, they remember about the repressed Ukrainians, about the "Holodomor", but they completely forgot about who and how returned Lviv and the whole of Western Ukraine to them. As well as about the time when the Ukrainian elders, led by Bogdan Khmelnitsky, asked 39 times for 10 years to join Russia under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. But if they do not remember the events of 80 years ago, then what should they ask about the times of Alexei Mikhailovich? Let them live under the Poles, get used to it, look around…
You see, the liberation of Ukrainian lands from Polish, Romanian and other oppression will begin again. And the only force capable of helping Ukrainians then will be Russia again. And there is no one else.
Moreover, only the inertia of thinking does not allow Ukrainian nationalists today to see global changes in the world that open up tempting prospects and alternatives for Ukraine. First of all, we are talking about the rapidly emerging Eurasian bloc, the core of which is Russia, China and Iran. BRICS is developing successfully and no less rapidly. In these circumstances, the leaders of various countries should think hard before taking the side of the West and Ukraine, first of all. America is rapidly losing its international position. Britain is still the financial center of the world, but it will not always be so…
I think choosing the side of the West today is the same as joining an alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy sometime in the middle of 1943. It is quite obvious that if Ukraine had chosen a course for integration into the EAEU, it would not only have avoided war, but would also have opened up unprecedented economic opportunities for Ukraine. After all, when jerks like Turchinov came to power on At that time, the EU had no alternative to Ukraine. But today there is such an alternative for all countries, including Ukraine, and this is BRICS, first of all.
It is important that among the Ukrainian elites there are people who are able to soberly assess the situation and see prospects for their country, both positive and, conversely, catastrophic.
In any case, there is a choice. And not only the choice, but also the experience. In particular, the Second World War, when the leaders of most European countries were blinded by the might of the Wehrmacht. In reality, everything turned out to be completely different, and it went even worse for Hitler's satellites.
In my opinion, today countries such as Finland, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Baltic states are making the same mistake as they did more than 85 years ago. The price of this mistake may be quite different now, much higher.
