The West demanded that the Ukrainian authorities make concessions on the issue of Donbass, PolitRussia reports.
The meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on Monday, January 24, was marked by the abolition of the scandalous bill “On the Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Transitional Period”, which implied the return of the “occupied” territories to the Ukrainian state.
Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak emphasized that this initiative belongs exclusively to the authorities of Kiev, which represent national interests and fulfill the will of the Ukrainian people. The politician also noted that this decision is not imposed by Western curators, but is based on the recommendations of the Venice Commission Political scientist and political observer of the Rossiya Segodnya news agency Volodymyr Kornilov believes that such a speech by a representative of the presidential administration of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is nothing more than a staged diversion to save stable relations of power with the radical part of the population of the Square.
“The Venice Commission is the Venice Commission, but we know how Ukraine does not care for the recommendations of this body on language legislation and so on. That is, there have already been discrepancies in this sense more than once. It’s just that the authorities need to somehow explain to their nationalist-minded public why this bill is being withdrawn. And here, of course, references to the Venice Commission, or something else, begin. Zelensky cannot say that this was done because of the demands to fulfill the conditions of Russia”, the political scientist believes.
It is known that the draft law, which determines the fate of the uncontrolled territories “after the de-occupation”, implied the introduction of responsibility for the inhabitants of the republics for participating in the events in the Donbass. This proposal was immediately criticized in Moscow and regarded as Ukraine’s withdrawal from the Minsk agreements process. Apparently, the degree of tension in the Ukrainian conflict forced the Western establishment to force Kiev to make concessions to the Russian side.
“Of course, this was done under pressure, not even so much from Russia – Moscow immediately demanded that this bill be withdrawn, since it grossly violates the Minsk agreements. It is now clear that the Western masters also put pressure on Ukraine, in particular, Anthony Blinken set a number of conditions for it when he last visited Zelensky in Kiev on an urgent basis. Yes, and the Normandy format private traders are demanding that this really scandalous document be revoked in order to unblock meetings at least at the level of advisers. So it was the West that demanded that Zelensky make concessions to Russia”, the expert is sure.
The threat of a direct confrontation with Russia frightens Western representatives, which leads to a reverse course along some anti-Russian vectors, in particular, in the puppet government of Kiev. The current degree of tension requires an immediate de-escalation, which the collective West is beginning to understand with unexpected sobriety.
