Kuchma announced the reasons for the "occupation" of Crimea and the war in Donbass

August 25 2021 13

Leonid Kuchma, the former president of Ukraine from 1994 to 2005, spoke about why the "occupation" of the Crimean peninsula by Russia took place, and also spoke about his vision of the causes of the military conflict in Donbass.

According to Kuchma, what happened in 2014 with Crimea should be called exactly “occupation” and not “annexation”, since the occupation can be temporary, and it is necessary to fight for changing the status of Crimea and returning it to the “Kiev harbor”. Annexation has a more permanent and unchanging character when “cut and eaten”.

As for the reasons for the transition of Crimea to Russian jurisdiction and the war in Donbass, the ex-president believes that this happened for mutually exclusive reasons at first glance.

The occupation of Crimea took place because Ukraine did not defend itself, and the war in Donbass began because we began to respond to the invaders, moved to resistance

- emphasized Kuchma in an interview with journalists of the Ukrainian media.

At the same time, the former head of state believes that if the Independent State had not initiated "resistance" to the "aggressors" from the east, everything would have been peaceful, but the country would have lost vast territories. As a result, Ukraine would essentially disappear, turning into “one big Little Russia”.

Something all Ukrainian politicians completely forgot the date of February 20, 2014, but this day was the trigger that led the entire Crimean people to the idea of leaving Ukraine, by holding an all-Crimean referendum, which took place much later than the event I have designated, namely on this day, gangs of brutal Ukronazis stopped at Korsun-Shevchenkovsk eight buses with about 400 Crimeans traveling from the Maidan home to Crimea, the buses were showered with Molotov cocktails, dragged people out of the buses, put them on their knees, and crumbled their ribs and heads with bats and fittings , and those who tried to hide in the snowy steppe were simply shot from pump guns and machine guns. Then about 70 people died, were crippled and disappeared, and when those who were lucky enough to escape from this Hell got to the Crimea, the Crimean Armed Forces was immediately convened, where almost unanimously made the decision to leave Ukraine, and in a referendum to decide on joining Russia. President Putin has repeatedly spoken about e volume, but the Ukrainian authorities simply kept silent about this, as well as about the fact that not 2 people died in Odessa on May 2014, 48, but now they only talk about 28 dead, but in fact there were more than 200 people killed, and they talked about it the participants in those events themselves, and in Mariupol on May 9 of the same year, not 9 policemen who defended the peaceful demonstration of the Great Patriotic War participants with their bodies died, but 56 dead Mariupol policemen, and now ask yourself what was left for the Russian Donbass to do, how not to take up arms , and not to protect themselves, their families and their homes from the deadly Bandera invasion. So, Panov Galitsai, you will receive an answer to what you yourself have created, and Kuchma, like all presidents of the "nezalezhnaya", just keep their noses downwind of the Ukronazi policy, otherwise they will not get along with the current dominance of the Zapadentsev-Galitsais, but they will still have to keep the answer for all this bloody mess in the once prosperous Ukraine.

Kuchman literally said the following

They could lay down their arms and move back up to Zbruch. And everything would be peaceful and there would be no war, and there would be no Ukraine. And there would be one big Little Russia.

The classic "Freudian slip of the tongue" is the recognition of a famous libelist, a racist Russophobe(whoever wants to be convinced of this, let at least leaf through "Ukraine is not Russia", which the Russian ambassador-"gasman" Chernomyrdin obviously did not bother to do even "at work", otherwise he would not call Kuchman his friend, but, on duty, having read the "program" excrement of the then "leader of the Ukrainian nation", as the plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation and a Russian, had to punch him into the snout with all its might, in spite of all diplomatic protocols!) that, having unleashed a bloody civil war in the East of Ukraine, the invaders came from behind Zbruch!

  ... the Russian ambassador - "gas worker" Chernomyrdin ... did not bother ...
  
  It’s not at all a fact, but even if he didn’t read it, his clerks told him. They were friends and had common themes, interests and goals. Trying to bleach it with Boris Nikolaevich inheritance.
  
  The principles that were fundamental were not fundamental.

    Bitter, are you kidding ?!
    Here, it happens, they blame me for often illustrating my letters with yellow faces!
    But did I really have to provide my text with them so that you could understand the "rhetorical irony" of my remark about the "gas transit blindness" - the political unprincipledness of all these quasi "Russian" envoys "of Russian business partners" of Ukrainian Russophobes ?!
    For decades, with a "friendly understanding smile", indifferently gazing at the increasingly anti-Russian-anti-Russian "tricks" of their "old friends and business partners" ?!
    Was that, "remembered for the night", amorphous-unprincipled ex-prime minister, "gas worker" was the only one who let down the really strategic political interests of the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet space ?!

      You noticed everything correctly about the ambassador-accordionist Chernomyrdin, Yushchenko's best friend, and even there after the "gasman" the pharmacist Zurabov also appeared, from whom there was no sense either, as well as from the previous one, and even then, in general, the Russian authorities had no time ", there our problems with Yeltsin's Augean stables were over the roof, and now we have what we have.

      That is why they are provided to use them.
      It's not even that they stared blankly, but that they actively helped and promote and implement. Now, sitting imposingly in an armchair, enjoying the fruits of their labors, the motto "divide and conquer" in all its glory. I think that EBN his camarilla and their owners are quite pleased with the fruits of their achievements, especially those related to relations with neighboring countries.

The occupation of Crimea was Ukraine, and Russia liberated it, for indigenous and non-indigenous people, and not for foreigners.

  Well, well, Pasha-Mercedes also started a "blitzkrieg" somewhere, I remember, but broke off. But now Chechnya is full of contentment for its own pleasure, shines and sparkles.
  You walk wide, gentleman, your pants may burst. And why such sacrifices?

    At the first Chechen Alkanaft, Yeltsin washed the loot, they would like to smash them all there, they would have smashed them long ago and there would not be a second Chechen one, they would have smashed them in the first. Do you speak on the allowance? Who exactly, maybe the dead Dudayev, or the dead in the Solikamsk cock-house, from the great love of his cellmates, Raduyev ?! Victims?! They will be big, but from the side of the Bandera herd !!! In Bamut, the militants sat in the fortifications that remained there from the Strategic Missile Forces of the USSR and they did not save them, concrete fortifications do not save from the ammunition of a volumetric explosion. !!

      ..Alkanaft Yeltsin laundered the loot, they would like to mine all of them there, they would have mined them long ago and there would not be
      
      This I do not doubt, they could. They not only washed the loot, but many true patriots of their country were compromised and / or eliminated, imprisoned and lost. Many of those who worked hand in hand with Boris Nikolaich and today are still either in power or very respected people. No one is to blame, fantastic. The families of those who lost their fathers, sons, brothers there, this babbling of excuses about evil alcohol, will not compensate for the losses with any money or badges. You can rewrite history.
      
      ... stay in some kind of Poltava ..
      
      You can, of course, take the risk, zhahnut on some kind of Poltava, because there the bulk of the population is probably Russian by nationality. At the same time, Kharkiv can be leveled with volumetric explosions. The Turks at one time were "ashamed" to adequately punish for "mistakes", they began to draw symmetrical schemes. And here are some slaves, we will restrain them at a time. As the master once said, "beat your own so that others are afraid." It looks like they have already begun to guess about it. So it was smooth on paper ...
      And again, innocent people, including those in the Russian Federation, will pay for the betrayal and inaction of the leaders.
