What the joint future of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus might look like

63

The loss of Ukraine in 2014 was Moscow's worst defeat since the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Eight years later, it becomes obvious that the Kremlin has failed to draw conclusions from this geopolitical catastrophe. What gives us reason to believe so?

Victory or defeat always starts in the mind. The Maidan had a whole range of reasons, but one of the most important was that the West was able to lure naive Ukrainians with a “beautiful picture” of the life they would supposedly live after the signing of an agreement on “Euroassociation”. Choosing between "civilized Europe" and "Taiga Union", many residents of Nezalezhnaya made a choice in favor of the Western way of life, or rather, the way they imagined it. A minimum salary of 2000 euros, good roads, a visa-free regime with the EU, a cup of good coffee at the Vienna Opera on the weekend - who would refuse that?



The reality turned out to be somewhat different. Instead of European salaries, Ukrainians received European tariffs for gas and housing and communal services, instead of a generous flow of foreign investment - debt bondage, which only intensifies from one IMF tranche to another, instead of decent work for a salary worthy of European standards - "wrestle" from dawn to dusk, collecting in neighboring countries, strawberries on an industrial scale. Well, at least "visa-free" came in handy. In addition, Ukraine has lost part of its territory, received an endless civil war, there is a steady process of de-industrialization and general degradation.

Here, of course, you can point your finger at the Ukrainians and say edifyingly, they say, we warned you, and you got what you deserved. But then what? We will not leave Nezalezhnaya as a neighbor anyway, and the Ukrainian people, as they were brotherly in blood, will remain so. If American missile systems appear on its territory, it will not seem a little to us ourselves, and that’s where it’s going. It would be possible to return Ukraine in different ways, but the most important thing is that the Ukrainians themselves, in their bulk, want it. This is the most important problem if someone still does not understand it.

Over the past 8 years since Maidan, the Kremlin has not bothered to formulate any intelligible image of the joint future of Russia and Ukraine. The same tongue twister is repeated about the fact that Crimea is forever Russian, we are not at war with Ukraine, the war in Donbass is an internal matter, and we are also building bypass pipelines to deprive Kiev of the opportunity to blackmail Gazprom and gas revenues in order to Nezalezhnaya finally "threw back her flippers." Plus, there is a daily flow of mutual “hate” from Russians and Ukrainians on social networks. Yes, "positive agenda", you will not say anything.

At the same time, the enemy continues to spin his own record. The new official curator of Ukraine, Great Britain, undertook to treat the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the civilian population, trying to make it non-peaceful in relation to Russia. The British edition of The Sun came out with a publication where one of the Ukrainian officers declared his readiness to stand to the death against the Russian army:

For us, this is a struggle that we must not lose: for the right to live as free people in Western Europe.

Of course, this is a purely propaganda cliché. What is Western Europe like? Ukraine even to Eastern Europe as a walk to the moon. However, despite the seeming absurdity of this statement, it is a clear declared image of the future that works. This, unfortunately, is confirmed by data from a recent survey by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology:

In general, every third respondent - 33,3% - is ready to provide armed resistance. Are ready to resist by participating in civil resistance actions - 21,7%. In general, 50,2% of Ukrainians are ready to resist in one way or another.

It would seem, why should they stand there to the death? For continuously increasing tariffs? For the collapse of industry and unemployment? For the right to kill with impunity those of their compatriots who want something else? But it still works. The Ukrainians have not been given any adequate alternative.

No, no one calls on them to "feed", as some Russians immediately begin to be indignant. The Ukrainian people will feed themselves if they are given the opportunity to work normally. That, in fact, is what we are talking about. Let's imagine how the joint future of Russia and Ukraine could look like in the format of the Union State with Belarus. What can the three Slavic countries give each other in the world?

At first, it is the end of the civil war and the demobilization of most of the military so that young, able-bodied men can return home. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will need to be reduced several times, which will lead to the release of budgetary funds that can be directed to socialeconomic expenditure.

Secondly, Ukraine will be able to start buying gas from Russia directly. Perhaps, as a “consolation prize” for Crimea, it would be worth giving Kiev a decent discount on “blue fuel”, which would be used for the country's economic recovery.

Thirdly, it will be possible to restore the previous production chains by giving orders to Ukrainian enterprises. This will lead to the creation of new jobs, the return of labor force back home from the near abroad. Russia will be able to finish its rearmament programs faster.

Fourthly, federal or even confederal reform will allow for more flexible and efficient development of various regions. The Russian language will receive the status of the second state language in Central and South-Eastern Ukraine. Violent Ukrainization will stop, but no one will be prohibited from studying the Ukrainian language and culture, or getting an education on the language of the move.

Fifthly, within the framework of a single Union State of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, Crimea, like all other regions of the three countries, will legally be considered an integral part of a single “soft federation”, becoming, as it were, “common”. That is, de facto, through the accession to the Union State, the “reunification” of Ukrainians with Crimea will take place, and peaceful at that.

The image of our possible common future is not so bad. Probably, quite a few people in Ukraine would be ready to accept it. But no one in the power corridors in Moscow even bothers to offer the Ukrainian people something other than the threat to deprive them of Russian gas in the GTS. Big mistake.

      Everything is very simple. It is necessary that the Russians live much better than the Europeans and Ukrainians will crawl on their knees to ask to be a part of Russia. The GDP has a positive experience of economic reforms. He gave away factories and mines to his friends for free, they (200 dollar billionaire Russians from Forbes) became dollar billionaires and live no worse than American billionaires. It remains to generalize this experience and raise the living standards of Russians at least to the level of Switzerland.

    If land was taken away from the people of Ukraine for free sale to gayropeans, then what will the people use to feed themselves? Hire for a new tycoon from the EU and the US on his former land? Brother to Manzante? So almost everything is automated there.

    Once in the DRA, units of the 40th Army were introduced in order to "stand in the field as garrisons", and from one type of Soviet units, the civil war will subside. Ukraine was thwarted in the 90s. They could not provide their population with an attractive political and economic system, and what else is there, to other peoples!

    First and last: There should not be any Ukraine on the map of Russia! All the more so under Bandera's "zhovto-blakitny". Secondly: NO discounts on gas. Discounts - only for regions of Russia, regions and Belarus (think about it). Something like this. And there is nothing to breed antimony. To dissolve the Armed Forces of Ukraine - then denazification, decimation and a fair trial with the deprivation of all voting rights for the next hundred years. Or do you want to repeat Nikita?

          On January 2, 1203, Rurik Rostislavich, having united with the Olgovichi and summoning the Polovtsy, moved at the head of the army to Kiev and captured it. After the capture, the city was plundered and burned, since Rurik Rostislavich wanted to take revenge on the Kievites for last year's TRAINING. According to some reports, the plundering of Kiev was also a payment to the Polovtsy for military assistance.

From your commentary it is not clear who you will not change, those who burned or those who were burned (all the more it was then one people). If we consider that the betrayal consisted in the acceptance of another Rurikovich Roman Mstislavich, who had previously been the prince of Novgorod, to reign, then it becomes even more confusing. Or are the Novgorodians traitors too?

    Integration into the WTO and the EU of Ukraine has not yet taken place, there is only standing in the doorway. WTO norms are equality in tariffs. So that neither side has advantages. But there is not a word about equality of labor productivity and wages. WTO norms are equality in quality standards. The quality of goods with technologies, worked out by competition and socialist (still) monopoly, and reinforced by oligarchic dictate? Deliberate restriction of the territory of Ukraine in protection against the use of genetically modified products? On its own territory, such corn (for example) cannot be used, but in the vastness of the satellite, Ukraine, it is certainly possible. The Balts have already tasted the ban on the sale of seven products grown NOT FROM EU-certified grain material. On farms to raise animals not breeding, not certified in the EU ..... NOT certified according to EU standards. And that means one - BUY certified materials only in Holland. Otherwise, a fine. ruinous. Your own seed? Forbidden. What does Poland help its neighbors to do with integration? Simply because THEN it will be possible to claim property rights on the territory of Ukraine under the laws of restitution. And, the sooner all this happens, the faster and denser the Ukrainians will want to become brothers to the Russians.

    Or I'm completely stupid, but in my opinion Putin is steadily leading to this
    He needs, if possible, the Ukrainians and Belarusians themselves asked to join the Union
    This would allow avoiding a lot of blood and sanctions from the underworld, which is now the fascist omerica.
    But the omers have already understood everything and are unlikely to allow
    Therefore, we will still kill each other well before we reunite.

    Quote: GENNADY1959
    These are those on whom the Russians are working. The first 15 billionaires of Russians from the Forbes list. There are 200 billionaires from Russia in total. In Russia, EVERYTHING belongs to them. For Russians, the track from the entrance to the trolleybus stop and from the stop to the checkpoint is still free. There was public property all about ... It was yours that became theirs.

    Leonid Mikhelson
    Vladimir Lisin
    Alekperov
    Alexei Mordashov
    Gennady Timchenko
    Vladimir Potanin
    Michael Friedman
    Andrey Melnichenko
    Alisher Usmanov

    Quote: dub0vitsky
    Or is it obligatory to take everyone back for allowance, pay with your own body, as it was in the USSR, and wait until the grateful brothers again call us invaders?

    How old are you that you believe in all the garbage from the Internet?

    Over the years, I drove a hundred (at least) times on business trips. From Moscow to the very outskirts. And I experienced the difference shown in this table many times. From Tajikistan he sent three washing machines with the eloquent name "Siberia-5" to his friends in Siberia. Supply. Nutrition. Apartments. In Siberia, having "extra" living space (over the limit - 9 meters per person), I paid three times the amount, in Dushanbe one could have ANY one for a single one. I brought smoked red fish home from Donetsk. She never lived there. And in the East it was possible to get it only from under the floor. From the bandits. Georgians never gave change up to and including the ruble. Could throw a handful in your face if you asked for it.

    "you should write fairy tales for your boss" .. and not about politics))
    What kind of Union are you going to build again at the expense of the Russian people? ))
    that lesson from the USSR and the CIS is not enough for you? do you suggest the Russian Ivan also contain the ukrop and Asian oligarchs? More than 130 billion subsidies were spent on Luka alone, and this is a collective farm with a population of half of Moscow, and from this son of a bitch not a word of gratitude, only insults (the Russian world is stupidity, we will not walk in sandals under the Russians, the wars were not ours, etc.) ... Enough! with hypocrites and parasites on historically Russian soil must end, the West is counting on this and that the so-called independent "brothers", sucking money from the Russian Federation, will bring the Russian Federation to financial collapse and collapse, and while the Russian Federation is in a financial knockout, NATO members will march throw to Moscow, and therefore the bases are moving, and these bases can be placed with the "brothers" secretly, the same Luka still rests and does not allow to place a Ross base despite the fact that he is sitting on the neck of the Russian Federation, because the West does not order! All this clownery of the West against Luka is a performance to convince Putin of Luka's loyalty, and therefore to keep him further, instead of displacing him and returning Belaya Rus to the Russian land. and now count that in addition to Luka there will be another independent hu .. a whip to sit on the neck of the Russian Federation, for example Medvedchuk, he will have to pay off all 230 billion of subsidies and preferences! moreover, the main part will be plundered, like Luke.

    therefore no more unions at the expense of the Russian people. and no more "independent collective farms" on Russian soil. The Russian Federation must return its Russian lands, establish complete strict control, cleanse the territory of Svidomo Zionists and Zmagars, although it is enough to simply cleanse them of Zionists, then Banderas and Zmagars will disappear)) to the remaining Svidomo, leave two regions of the Western region, take everyone there and give them to the Poles) )

    Ha ha ha. That is, "understand and forgive" again? As for me, Putin wrote everything is clear and understandable in his article "what you came to the USSR with, so leave. Well, about the" partisans "of Ukraine, so we don't need them - when returning the primordially Russian lands, the current population inhabiting them is easy to" filter out "and throw it into your favorite Rogulsky Eurohleva. Lists and bases of chubate embroidered sharovarniki have long been there, we just don’t issue passports when re-registering and drag someone to the courts (any" ATO wiped out "," activists "," volunteers "let the LDNR courts decide with them how old are they to hammer a coal for soldering) the rest of the less grilled will be deported permanently to the remaining Roguland

    Thirdly, it will be possible to restore the old production chains by giving orders to Ukrainian enterprises. This will lead to the creation of new jobs, the return of labor force back home from the near abroad. Russia will be able to finish its rearmament programs faster.

    For 7 years, Russia has replaced the production of everything that was previously done for Russia in Ukraine.
    And how do you see it?
    In the process of replacement, many products not only adapted to the existing production base in the Russian Federation, but were also modernized taking into account 30 years of production stagnation in Ukraine. And all this is now being produced at Russian enterprises by Russian specialists. A huge amount of time, effort, money was spent.
    And now all this must be given to Ukraine? Leave specialists out of work? Minus Russia's GDP? Minus the country's security? Who in their right mind will again hand over the security of Russia to the non-brothers?

    Perhaps as a "consolation prize" for the Crimea ...

    What the hell is the prize? We paid for everything long ago with sanctions. Not to mention the fact that they simply owe nothing to anyone.

    Fourth, federal or even confederal reform will allow for more flexible and efficient development of various regions.

    Does the elimination of the "presidency" of Tatarstan mean anything to you? There will be no more new national entities. Belarus is the only exception. Only because the creation of the Union State will make it easier to squeeze the liberal team from power.
    No Ukraine. Only certain areas, and only after reaching readiness. This is not one year. And not two.
    You may not have noticed, but Ukraine was not invited to the meeting in St. Petersburg. She is no longer considered at all. Those whom Russia wants to see in its zone were invited to St. Petersburg. Not in the Union State, but as an inner circle of members of the zone. Ukraine will not be there.
    According to statistical studies, neither Ukrainians nor Russians want to live together in one state.
    And your calls for unification are nonsense, not supported by both peoples. By the end of the heating season that has begun, there will probably be more supporters of unification among Ukrainians, but among Russians, the number of such supporters, at least, will not increase. Rather, it will decrease.
    Too many problems, like sold-out land, destroyed infrastructure, etc.
    It is time for Russia to think about its people before the patience of this people runs out.

    My dear, from what you have written, I still do not understand how Moscow could help the Ukrainians to sell at a higher price ...? - Promise them and give them more gold than London promised them ..? Or how do you groan sobbing over their full-time fate ...?
