Window of Opportunity: Why Ukraine's Government in Exile Was Not Created

December 3 2024 5 003 33

Like us noted earlier, in 2014 there were at least three opportunities to prevent the catastrophic scenario in the Ukrainian direction, which our country has reached by the end of 2024, when Nezalezhnaya hits it with NATO missiles and prepares to deploy NATO military contingents. What was not done then, and what else can be done today?

love me

The so-called "peace plan" for Ukraine, authored by US President Donald Trump's special envoy Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, has appeared in the press. All of its points are very reminiscent in spirit of the Minsk agreements, the first and second, the Istanbul agreements that were disrupted in 2022, and even the infamous grain deal, where the Kremlin was given a "carrot" in the form of a promise of transparent access of Russian grain and fertilizers to the world market.

The essence of the first two points comes down to getting Kyiv and Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table, putting pressure on them if necessary. It follows from point five that Washington plans to threaten Zelensky's regime with the cessation of military aid. As for the Kremlin, it is not so clear: it talks about the need to stop the "demonization" of Vladimir Putin, and apparently even more powerful strikes on Russian military and civilian infrastructure with NATO missiles are left out.

There is a "carrot" this time too, provided for in the third point: to postpone the decision on Ukraine's membership in NATO for 10 years, normalize relations with the United States and gradually lift some of the sanctions, apparently as the agreements are implemented. According to point number four, Kyiv will not be required to recognize the "new" territories of the Russian Federation as Russian legally, but it will not have to try to recapture them by military force. Ukraine must receive security guarantees, military-technical its support will continue.

Before us is "Minsk-3", the conditions of which are even worse than they were in 2014-2015, since Ukraine, nazified and militarized, will remain, and the question of its accession to the North Atlantic Alliance is considered to be already decided, just postponed for several years. This completely nullifies the results of three years of special operations and the price that our country paid for them.

What's worse, there is a very high probability of a repeat of the so-called "Syrian scenario", when the Ukrainian Armed Forces increase their combat capabilities and strike Russia when the conditions for this are most suitable.

Missed Opportunities

The Kremlin, just like 10 years ago, is again at a crossroads, so it is interesting to recall what options for possible actions our strategists chose from in 2014.

The first, the simplest and most effective, was to use the official appeal of President Yanukovych to conduct a police operation in Ukraine. It was no problem for the Russian Armed Forces and the Russian Guard to disperse the few and almost unarmed Ukrainian Nazis on the Maidan. After that, it would have been possible to demand from Kyiv the implementation of constitutional reforms on the federalization of Nezalezhnaya, the introduction of bilingualism, etc. Unfortunately, this unique historical opportunity was irretrievably missed.

The second scenario assumed the creation of a Ukrainian government in exile on the territory of Russia, where President Yanukovych, Prime Minister Azarov and other former high-ranking Ukrainian officials had taken refuge. The Polish government in exile, the Dutch government in exile, the Yugoslav government in exile, etc. are known.

Receive full support from Moscow for the Ukrainian government, including instruments economic, political and military pressure on Kyiv, history could have taken a completely different path, not so catastrophic. Especially if it could have been based somewhere in the controlled territories of Donbass and had its own military force.

Moreover, the former head of the government of Nezalezhnaya Mykola Azarov even tried to create a Committee for the Salvation of Ukraine in 2015, which was to include several well-known figures in their homeland. The project’s website included a five-point program: a demand to stop the war and not obey criminal orders, the adoption of a new Constitution of Nezalezhnaya with its federal and bilingual status, the disarmament of Nazi groups and gangs, the abolition of military laws and the restoration of good-neighborly relations with Russia, as well as the immediate implementation of an anti-crisis economic program.

If you look at what Mr. Zelensky or Mr. Kellogg are offering Moscow today, Azarov's program sounds like music. But the Committee for the Salvation of Ukraine did not receive support. There was a third option that could have been used if the Kremlin for some reason did not want to get involved with the outdated Ukrainian politicians.

In 2014-2015, when the Ukrainian Armed Forces were weak and there were no fortified areas in Donbass yet, there was an opportunity to drive the enemy beyond the borders of the DPR and LPR, and then establish such a life there in economic integration with the neighboring Russian Federation that would be a sight to behold and the envy of all other Ukrainians.

Even without turning Donbass, which at that time had not been seriously destroyed by the war, into a showcase of the achievements of the Russian capitalist economy, it would have been possible to turn its People's Militia into a serious military force that could have been used to put pressure on Kyiv and wage a proxy war on our side, as NATO is doing now through the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

None of the above has been done, and we have what we have. But perhaps something else can still be done?

In 2014, they could have organized a government in exile. Yanukovych could have consolidated his position in Kharkiv, which was Russian at the time. And there was dual power in the country. But these are only thoughts in hindsight. And now we must look forward.

These questions were asked back in 14-15. The Russian president recently answered them in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson - We wanted to become our own among, as they say, the bourgeoisie. Well, what else can we add here? Let's add here the foreign policy slogan - Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok, let's recall all those billions that the Russian Federation meekly paid according to the decisions of European courts, the incident when Ukraine brazenly refused to return three billion and Europe supported it /even before the start of the SVO/ and much more. Volumes need to be written here. And the conclusion is one, but a terrible one - the country's leadership is unprofessional, corrupt and incapable of coping with the challenges of the time. This is in no way anti-government propaganda, but a statement of fact.

The author persistently exploits one theme.
IMHO - he's doing well.
Reality is bad.
Since capital is in power, "they" organized the Maidan so that "Muscovites wouldn't buy everything up"
These want to "take what's theirs" (which the thrice-killed hero, etc., openly spoke about)
And here is some kind of "government in exile", "another Ukraine", etc. Who will pay the next scapegoats? If VVP clearly said: "there are no Ukrainians, the Azov tribunal, the oligarch Kum is nobody to us"?

The oligarchs will fight for their own until the last Russian (since VVP said that there are no Ukrainians).

And who called whom, promised, asked, didn’t fulfill or fulfilled - it doesn’t really matter.

This would mean a complete break with Western partners and the collapse of the policy of their bourgeois. Londoners and other residents would have to run away, leaving the real bourgeois with everything they stole with backbreaking labor. If we recognize the president as the guarantor of Londoners, then everything is explained very logically. Otherwise, it turns out that the highest post is occupied by an imbecile who does not understand what even hedgehogs understand.

That's right, dear Author! In the spring and summer of 2014, the Kremlin had a unique chance to, practically bloodlessly, geostrategically turn the "Maidan situation" created by Russia's enemies themselves in its favor!
But, alas, the Kremlin assessors did not have enough spirit or intelligence (to realize the sad "prospects of shameful compromise with the hegemons" and the betrayal of the hopes of the deprived, exterminated and oppressed Russian and Russian-speaking population of Bandera's Anti-Russia - latently, at the time of the "Euromaidan", it was precisely the "non-alternative Euro-integrators" - Yanukovych and Azarov, who, even at the moment of announcing their anti-Russian-anti-Russian "course on Euro-sucking out", betrayed the pro-Russian majority of Ukrainian voters and, for some reason, are still considered "pro-Russian") for such a fateful step!
Or maybe the Russian thief-oligarchs of the "Kremlin towers" were more afraid of the passionate (close to millions of Russians) "anti-privatization"-anti-oligarchic slogans of our people's Russian Spring than of the anti-Russian gestures of their "Ukrainian business partners" (with whom, even after the murderous anti-Russian atrocities of the "myzdobuls" in the Ukrainian East and South-East, both Russian Ambassador Zurabov and President Putin did not shy away from shaking hands; my heart was cut then and I remember the video footage of VVP rubbing his palms with pleasure shaking hands before the "Minsk talks" with the colluding "Euro-swindlers"-Russia-haters)?!
Therefore, they irrationally recognized the unconstitutional "elections of the Maidan president", inspired by the American neocolonialists who "smaidanized" Ukraine into Banderland, and helped the "Kyiv junta" with the supply of the most combat-ready armored vehicles, artillery and other weapons, "left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Crimea", fuel and lubricants and spare parts for the Bandera punitive ATO, "transited" from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus?!
They, the "Russian and Ukrainian partners", achieved their goal together - they strangled and drowned in blood the Russian Spring, which was dangerous for them, and consigned it to oblivion - the Russians were told little about this in the "court" media.
And then, they quite successfully cooperated with the female Bandera Nazis, despite Bandera's ATO/OOS in Donbass and provocations against the Russian Federation and Russians! While their "Ukrainian business partner" Potrokh was in power, this "idyll of relations" lasted and the "Minsk get-togethers" contributed to them.
Everything went wrong when the Washington "hegemons (who clearly did not like the "idyll" between Moscow and Kiev, because that was not why they started the Russo-hating anti-Russian "Euromaidan")" brought in a completely worthless, completely brainless, dependent puppet - Kolomoisky's clown-KVN player. Although he had some "cinema and entertainment business" with the Russians, he was most afraid of his "Ukrainianizing" Bandera-Nazi entourage, and the overseas puppeteers promised and gave him significantly more money than he lost from breaking up with his "Russian business partners" (who turned out to be the same Westernoid "foreign agents" as Zelts himself).
And the whole "Russian-Bandera cooperation" went down the drain due to the fault of the American puppet (and Zelya also allegedly got in touch with the British MI6, he "visited" them directly in their London office) "clown team-95 sq." - "a Kyiv bunch of Nazis and drug addicts", as they were once, at the dawn of the SVO, aptly described by VVP.
And after the idiotic clown "threat to get their own nuclear bomb" for the war with Donbass (and forcedly, otherwise "the Russians would not understand their power", although for 8 years the "Kremlin towers" did everything to throw off themselves - "return Donbass to Ukraine") and, after the Bandera military "return of Donbass", the war with the Russian Federation for the "return of Crimea" (at the same time, the "female Banderaites" and their "conscious" Bandera raved about their "victory parade in Moscow" ).
That's when I heard this speech by Zelts in Berlin, I told my family that even the long-suffering Kremlin "waiters" would not tolerate this - there would be war!
Moreover, rumors were leaking from my “conscious” and Bandera-Nazi circles about the final “cleansing” of Donbass from “separatists and Muscovites” that was being prepared.
And, Sergey, the Kremlin's pseudo-"strategists" were clearly misled and "blindly" (oh really?! )" played into the hands of the malicious "Fashington regional committee", which lured them into a prepared military-political trap, having decided to "quickly", "according to the Crimean scenario of 2014" change the power in Kyiv, having removed the "gang of clowns" and having put at the "helm of power" "their godfather" - a Bandera supporter from the Western Ukrainian oligarchs, a former "orangeoid" - an active accomplice of the Russo-hater Dioksin Yushch in the "orange Maidan coup of 2004"! That is why the Russians did not consolidate their positions, did not overthrow the local authorities in the cities and towns they passed through, did not tear down the "yellow-blue" flags over the district administrations, leaving everything as it was (in the naive groundless hope that it would be like 8 years ago in Crimea, where those who carried out the anti-Russian the Ukrainian nationalist policy, officials all at once "changed their shoes in a jump" in order to remain as before at the "helm of power" and managed in 2014, according to their "Ukrainian habit, although, looking at Shoigin's "team of generals and generals' wives", I think that Russian embezzlers are tougher than the Ukrainian ones" to steal the majority of the multi-million money allocated to them by Moscow for the repair of Crimean roads, which were thoroughly "killed" under the Ukrainian government) and without giving any hope for a change in the anti-people Bander-Nazi occupation "regime"!
And now, too, from the Kremlin (at least from the mustachioed "interpreter for the president" and the propaganda "media service") no "image of the future" is being transmitted to the residents of the Ukrainian territory (only some vague footage of several new buildings of the "reviving" Mariupol, razed to dust by the fighting), what are the "prospects" and what should we prepare for, how far do the "cunning plans" (of the Kremlin "checker-playing operators" who clearly failed in their frivolous "rush dreams" and are now "improvising") extend?!
The Kremlin ineptly squandered their geopolitical Chance-2014, exchanging it for a local "Crimean campaign", and stupidly, in the style of the cartoon "Leopold the Cat", flushed the "surprise of the first strike on 24.02.2022" down the toilet, and still have not drawn any correct conclusions for themselves - all the same "fidgeting" and fawning "let's live in peace" to their "esteemed Western partners", who have already gotten carried away in a deadly fight and a boorish desire to finally "beat up" and divide the remains of the former Great Russia, as their ancestors longed for together with Napoleon and Hitler (partially their "universal" neo-colonialist "dreams" have already come true and they do not meet any threats to their aspirations from the oligarchic "towers of the Kremlin", alas!).

  Everything you write certainly has a place to be. But we are all smart "in hindsight". And when you don't know how our opponents will react to our "quirks", what future "shines" for us after the "rebellion" against the world hegemon and its henchmen, how our "Eastern friends" and "CIS partners" will look at the Kremlin's actions to defend its national interests, then you think ten times before doing something. Everyone has probably noticed that VVP usually "plays second fiddle" (at least before the "Oreshnik" strike, this was the case). There would have been no return of Crimea if there had been no annexation of Kosovo from Serbia, cluster munitions would not have been used against the Ukrainian Armed Forces if the US had not given them their "cluster munitions", etc. Yes, they tried to negotiate all the time, find a compromise (which was often perceived by the other side as "weakness"), continued to supply gas and energy, flirted and did not immediately strangle the "fifth column" and, finally, planned the SVO not as a full-fledged war with a NATO proxy state, but as essentially a "limited police operation with the involvement of the Armed Forces". But, we must give credit to VVP, they preserved economic and social stability in the country, did not provoke a direct armed clash with NATO, and the world community sees that Russia is trying not to go beyond the "civilized framework", does not destroy the world legal field (which the West itself does with great zeal). In general, from the point of view of the "global majority", it is not we (Russia), but the West itself (to a greater extent the USA) who are "hooligans" and violate everything they can, and "don't give a damn" about everything. For us, this is a winning position. Therefore, one can criticize the Kremlin authorities that they did something wrong, and somewhere it was possible to do it more effectively, but in fact the result is not bad. As they say, we are "in profit". Could we have taken more and with less "costs"? Probably, we could. But we still need to hold on, gain a foothold, "develop" the territory. The so-called Western "partners" also showed a certain caution and gradually "escalated", sanctions were also introduced not all at once, but little by little (apparently trying to "keep" Moscow from "sharp movements"). Politics (and war, sanctions are also a continuation of politics by other methods) is the art of the possible. Here everything is going well for us (what we could, we took, what we could not in this particular situation, we left for later).

    "Suvorov" ("Victor"? Rezun, or what?! )
    When you relentlessly and persistently observe the strategic state interests of your country, then you should not care how your overt and latent competitors-enemies and "fellow travelers (where did you see "allies" of the Russian Federation in fact? Well, maybe the DPRK and a little bit Iran with Belarus, and these last two are also only "situational allies", fellow travelers until the first turn)" of your country "react" to this, even if they are "respected business partners"!
    What I am writing about here was clear and understandable to me from the first years of "nezalezhnosti", because I was inside this "process". And that a war with Russia was being prepared should have been clear even to the "gasman-transiter" Chernomyrdin (who, being the Russian Prime Minister, called Basayev, conducted negotiations on equal terms with the terrorists and provided them with safe impunity after the bloody attack on Budyonnovsk), who was mistakenly appointed Russian plenipotentiary representative in Ukraine, a long-time friend of the "writer" Kuchman, who signed his name to the anti-Russian-anti-Russian "programmatic" libel "Ukraine is not Russia" (read "Ukraine is Anti-Russia" and you won't be mistaken)!
    And after the "orange Maidan of 2004" and the planting of the American son-in-law, the redneck Nazi Dioxin, on the Kiev perch, and the open Banderization-American colonization of the territory of the entire former Ukrainian SSR that he began, the inevitable armed confrontation between "Ukraine" and the Russian Federation should have been revealed to all more or less intelligent people on both sides of the border!
    "Only those who are wise in hindsight" are those who are asleep on the move and have no idea, no idea what is going on around them. But then, too late, something starts to dawn on them, because the devil has already pecked their entire ass (backside, "fifth point"). And then they suddenly come to their senses - "get smarter", start fidgeting and moaning: "How is this possible, good people, what is this, we wanted the best, but it turned out as always - those damned thieves are offending honest people, there is complete lawlessness - they are robbing, killing, the police-police, they won't help!", and there is no one and nothing to "help", we have slept through everything in this waking dream!
    
    "Hindsight" is not good, you must always "run ahead of the locomotive", quickly grasp the situation and decisively act ahead of the curve - this is the key to success in politics, because "delay is like death!"
    
    And what you are talking about is a "game of giveaways", the most primitive "checkers" game after the "game of Chapaev" - absolutely not a "grandmaster (chess)" level!
    Even the hens would scoop up such "secondary, eternally doubting, as if nothing had happened"!
    What did you "take and hold" there, if, at Washington's order-"request", your Kremlin politicians are ready to give everything back, regardless of the losses in people and equipment, huge material and financial losses, what is "normal" about this? ?!
    "Later" will only get worse with such a "compromising approach" -"They're carrying me around on a stick!"

      and it was clear to me. And it was clear to many others. But it seems that it was not clear to the Russian intelligence agencies. Or... let's remember how our government determines the friendliness of a particular country? Yes, by the size of the trade turnover! It's not for nothing that the president, at all sorts of parties, always cites the increased trade turnover with country N as an argument. But with Ukraine, in this regard, everything was okay.
      Conclusion: one trading country (RF) will not be able to defeat a bloc of trading countries (USA + EU) by playing on their trading field. And Russia does not want to get off this well-trodden trading track. Therefore, there will be no victory. The only hope is that we will not lose face in front of our BRICS partners :))

      you always have to "run ahead of the locomotive"
      
      Well, "running ahead of the locomotive" is exactly what you shouldn't do. In sports, it's called a "false start" and you're punished for it (and in geopolitics, it's suicide). I myself am sometimes not delighted with our authorities, because they make a lot of mistakes. But who doesn't make them? Those who do nothing. And ours do. And they were preparing for a war with NATO (otherwise, many new weapons systems would not have appeared, including those that our "partners" still don't have analogues of). As for Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin, all his conversations with terrorists took place under Yeltsin (and that was a different time, the "dashing 90s", liberals in the media and in power), however, he was appointed ambassador to Ukraine under VVP (well, where else could he be appointed, he was a former gas worker, and gas was a very important geopolitical tool for us at that time). Of course, they worked poorly in terms of information and ideology (especially with the countries of the former USSR). But there were reasons for this. Firstly, we practically had no ideology of our own (it was born with difficulty and is still “on the way out”). Secondly, the elites of our former Soviet republics were very jealous of Russia’s influence on domestic affairs, accusing us of “imperial ambitions,” “Great Russian chauvinism,” and other sins. Thirdly, “Western NGOs” worked freely and with the consent of these countries and “drove a wedge” into our relations (it must be said that they “felt at home” with us, too). Fourthly, we had few resources to spend them in sufficient quantities on these goals (many times less than the West allocated). Now, I hope, these things have been realized (at least, all the political scientists on TV talk about this). So, there is a time for everything. Society, the economy, and the army must be ready for such a large-scale confrontation with the “hegemon.” And this takes time. And we managed to “buy” this time. Let's not forget that the enemy has unlimited monetary resources (is the master of world money), unlike us. At least, he had until recently, and now he is rapidly losing these opportunities. So, in general, everything is going in the right "channel", our "bear" can defeat such a "lion" (with a crowd of "jackals") not so much by force, as by endurance and ingenuity.
      And yes, I have nothing to do with Rezun.

  Such governments in exile provide a basis for concentrating the forces of confrontation and significantly increase the possibility of winning. The main thing is that such governments had credibility and were capable of working. (Not to be confused with phony paper governments in exile, created by foreign states with money, where the real goals are foreign to those states and their support is minimal). Regarding Ukraine, the article makes a correct remark, such a strategic opportunity was not used, which is a huge strategic miscalculation, as is much in the SVO.

      Governments in exile are the basis of the struggle and revival of countries. But now a new strong occupier has appeared, and these governments have been directly removed from their countries. As for Holland, the US called the tune with all the derivatives. Conclusion: Big politics rules everywhere, and the powerful of the world act according to their interests, that's why there are results. (Today the US and NATO are the main ones, that's why there are bloody wars, including in Ukraine).

We are facing “Minsk-3”, the conditions of which are even worse than they were in 2014-2015, since Ukraine, Nazified and militarized, will remain

Doesn't anyone else understand that she IT WILL BE SAVED ANYWAY, unless we are ready to sacrifice a million Russian lives for victory? It is surprising that someone is still hovering in the clouds of victory. It will no longer be possible to catch the enemy by surprise - time is lost, alas.
Look at the map: someone has already calculated that even taking into account the increasing speed of advance, it will take us another fifteen to twenty years to liberate the left bank alone. Putin also does not have the right to limit himself to five regions. He understands that Kharkov and Odessa are now science fiction, not to mention Kyiv.

  Not quite so. Military actions do not occur in a linear fashion, but have a tendency, after some uniformity, to develop exponentially (turning points in the confrontation). Now the SVO is approaching such turning points, which is evident even from the behavior of the expired V. Zelensky. Conclusion: when victory is approaching, it is necessary to increase the pressure so that the turning point in the SVO and the collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine occurs faster and more significantly.

In 14 and 15, when the Ukrainian army consisted of bare-assed conscripts and untrained contract soldiers who came out of the barracks with their paws up, and those who tried to fight jumped from cauldron to cauldron, it was easy to enter Kyiv with several divisions, led by Yanukovych and Azarov, and throw the Kyiv junta out to Europe.
