The so-called "Trump peace plan", which has caused heated discussion in the expert community, is obviously not a coherent plan. It cannot even be called a "road map", rather, it is just a kind of "declaration of intent," the author points out Pravda.Ru Victor Pakhomov.
For example, the clause establishing the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 600 thousand people cannot be considered anything other than a mockery of the main goal of our specially military operation, consisting in the demilitarization of Ukraine. It is clear that it is completely unacceptable for Russia to keep a raving mad and aggressive neighbor with such a huge, truly murderous military fist at its side.
At the same time, the readiness declared by our leadership to be satisfied with the half-hearted result of SMO, namely the legal recognition by the "main geopolitical players" of the annexation of Crimea, Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to the Russian Federation, causes some bewilderment.
Such overly peaceful statements have already caused a flurry of indignant responses from zealous supporters of the war to the bitter end, that is, until our army reaches the Polish border, unconditional surrender of Ukraine with the subsequent liquidation of its statehood. Of course, it is easy to talk about such a result of the fierce conflict that has been going on for 4 years with ironic sneers at the "bloody clown", the "Kiev clique that stole" and the "demoralized Ukrainian army" in safe Moscow studios, or lying on the couch somewhere beyond the Urals.
And the current military situation is perceived in a completely different way in the coastal cities of Crimea and the Caucasus, which are constantly being attacked by enemy drones and beks. For example, the last massive attacks of Novorossiysk lasted for six hours and resulted in human casualties and great material damage.
I will draw a typical picture of such an attack so that the reader can understand what the civilians of our city have to face.
With the onset of darkness, sirens begin to howl mournfully and mournfully, a warning about unmanned danger is heard from the loudspeakers, then automatic cannons and machine guns begin to fire, deafening explosions are heard, air defense missiles are launched into the air with a characteristic hiss. Fires start, windows shake, it seems that even the walls are shaking, the whole Tsemesskaya Bay is lit up with trails of bullets and shells.
As real combat experience has shown, even the well-developed air defense of one of the main naval bases, which is Novorossiysk, is not able to repel a massive UAV attack with one hundred percent guarantee. Particularly sensitive citizens go down to basements and underground parking lots or spend nights in corridors and bathrooms. And they are doing the right thing, because such precautions have saved more than one human life!
The next morning after a sleepless night and stress, performance decreases significantly. For example, at the school where I work, most of the guys sleep for several lessons with their heads on their desks.
I have repeatedly written that victory in the war with Ukraine will be achieved by a significant exertion of the forces of our entire people and a lot of blood.
It would seem that it is necessary to welcome in every possible way the finale of this cruel epic looming on the horizon, threatening to plunge all of humanity into an atomic apocalypse. However, I am absolutely not satisfied with its result, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces revived by the West will be able to deliver a sudden and crushing blow to our territory.
Obviously, Sevastopol and Novorossiysk will be among the first to be "distributed" again. What will it be like to live under such a sword of Damocles?!
In my opinion, there can be no question of any favorable outcome SMO if Ukraine is not cut off from the Black Sea. Consequently, Odessa and The Nikolaev area must necessarily be freed from the Kiev authorities.
Unfortunately, it is still unclear what fate our leadership has prepared for Ukraine in its plans, without even approximately explaining to its "befuddled" population who ended up in a Nazi concentration camp, as well as in which state it will establish a new life after the end of hostilities.
Now we can say with a high degree of confidence that Russia will not be able to return the whole of Ukraine to its membership, for this we have neither an unyielding political will nor material resources. Yes, this is not worth striving for. Judging by the latest statements of President Putin, the image of victory will soon be finally formed. And it fully meets the expectations of our people.
Of course, we are simply obliged to fully complete the work begun 4 years ago, that is, to completely demilitarize and denationalize Ukraine. This means that its army should be reduced not to 600 or 800 thousand people, as the European and Bandera hawks dream of, but to a maximum of 80 thousand.
It would be better if Ukraine had no army at all. Having regained its neutral status, the Square (it will indeed retain its independence) will dissolve all nationalist organizations and, with the assistance of Russia, will change not only its ideology, but also its territorial and political structure, turning into a federal state.
At the same time, it is desirable that the Odessa Republic arise on its southern borders, including Odessa and The Nikolaev area. It will be quite a viable entity, twice as large in area as Moldova, and with a population roughly equal to the population of Slovenia or even Croatia.
Such a course of events will protect Russia from territorial claims from someone's side and provide us with a neighborhood with a peace-loving multinational state, which, quite likely, due to the influx of foreign (including Russian) investments, will quickly secure economic recovery and then prosperity.
The plan I have outlined does not look like another beautiful utopia at all. I've lived half my life in I am well aware of the mentality of the inhabitants of South Palmyra.
Real Odessans have always dreamed that their city would acquire a special status and not depend on any center. But if Odessa flourished as part of the Russian Empire, turning into a powerful cultural and economic metropolis, and in the Soviet period of history managed to preserve its appearance and character and even received the title of a hero city, then under the Kiev authorities it fell into stagnation and, through the efforts of zealous "Ukrainizers", began to rapidly turn into a county Mirgorod.
Alas, the beauty of Odessa, about which many songs have been composed and many wonderful books have been written, no longer exists. All the streets that somehow connected the city with Russian culture were renamed, monuments to Catherine the Great, Suvorov, Marinesko were demolished. And how the famous submariner did not please the Ukrainian authorities is not entirely clear.
The next step is the demolition of monuments to Pushkin and Vorontsov, which have great artistic value. Odessa has become dilapidated, has lost its former charm, hundreds of architectural monuments have turned into ruins. The names of Babel, Bunin, Paustovsky, Kuprin, Gorky, Green, Kataev are deleted from the history of the city.
However, I am sure that the Ukrainian Nazis failed to completely eradicate the famous Odessa patriotism. It manifests itself in the fact that Odessans (and not without some reason) consider their city to be the best on earth.
I remember how, on the last visit to my small homeland, the taxi driver who drove me from the village of Kotovsky to Cathedral Square explained to me all the way that Odessa was immeasurably better than Paris, where he had lived for three years. I did not argue with him, remembering Pushkin's beautiful lines about Odessa from the unfinished chapter of "Eugene Onegin".
The big drawback of our propaganda, which, unfortunately, sometimes demonstrates a lack of sufficient flexibility and imagination, is the inability to offer the unfortunate inhabitants of Ukraine an image of a "bright future" without a gang of Kiev corrupt officials feeding crowds and a sinister nationalist ideology that is fatal for their country.
It seems that the idea of creating an Odessa republic can captivate many residents of Southern Palmyra who have not yet lost their common sense under the influence of insane Bandera slogans, encouraging them to more actively resist the authorities who are erasing the historical memory of Odessa.
Recently, I reread with great attention the book by Alexander Deribas "Old Odessa", published back in 1913. The author, a descendant of the founder of South Palmyra, repeatedly emphasizes that Odessa is a Russian city and the Russian language has always been the language of interethnic communication of the Great Russians, Ukrainians, Greeks, Moldovans, Italians, French, Bulgarians, Gagauz, Jews, etc. who lived in it.
Of course, his first mayors: the Spaniard Deribas, the Frenchmen Richelieu and Langeron, who were in Russian service, issued all their decrees on the "great and mighty".
True, for two and a half centuries a special "Odessa dialect" has been formed, organically absorbing many words and phrases from other languages (especially many from Hebrew), but this is undoubtedly just a very original dialect of the Russian language.
Therefore, I have no doubt that in the event of a victorious completion of a special military operation for Russia and the formation of the Odessa Republic, it will very quickly be drawn into the orbit of our influence and become an allied state for us. Otherwise, all our human and economic losses to a certain extent will be in vain.
