The involvement of Russian-inspired separatists in the unrest, seizure of
government buildings and brutal violence seen on the streets of Donetsk,
Kharkiv and Lugansk is evidence of the Kremlin’s attempt to repeat the
Crimean scenario, but this time in Eastern Ukraine.
European leaders repeatedly warned Russia that any further steps to escalate
the crisis in Ukraine would be met with a further level of sanctions. In
recent days, precisely such steps have been taken by the Kremlin. They are
part of Vladimir Putin’s plan to dismantle and destroy Ukraine as a
sovereign European state.
of his article was filled with half-truths or outright misinformation concerning events in Ukraine.
Russia is piling up its military capacities in the region bordering Ukraine,
threatening a war. Russian agents of the FSB (the former KGB) are
undertaking further steps to organise separatist provocations. Their aim is
to destabilise south-eastern Ukraine. Self-proclaimed puppet authorities are
created who then call upon Russian troops to protect a few hundred
separatists – who are mainly citizens of Russia, deliberately brought to
Ukraine by the Russian secret services in order to destabilise it.
The “lessons” outlined in the ambassador’s piece are nothing but interference
in the internal affairs of Ukraine. But in truth, only the Ukrainian people
have the right to decide on the form of government to choose, on the
language to speak, on the military-political stance to take. And these
issues will be resolved in the national constitution.
