Russia has always said, that Donbass – it is Ukraine. This was on Radio “TVNZ” Russian senator said Alexei Pushkov.
Crimea is, According to the politician, in Ukraine, allegedly, thought “cut off a hunk”.
Crimea due to historical incident became part of Ukraine, and he was transferred to the 54-year. In the 91 th year of Crimea I wanted to remain part of Russia, Surveys were appropriate and referendum held in 95th. Crimea and Kiev are always considered as the cut off chunk. What is a peninsula, which tends to Russia. And mireschitayut, that the Crimea - Russia
- said Pushkov.
Donbass same, According to him, It was part of Ukraine since the inception of the Soviet Union.
I believe, it was Lenin's mistake, because the Bolsheviks were then counted, what, if they saturate the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine, it is the principle of the Roman Empire - divide and conquer. That is, then it will be weakened by Ukrainian nationalism and will be strengthened by the presence of Russian. But they did not foresee the collapse of the Soviet Union, and when the Soviet Union collapsed, call into question such a direct and an internationally recognized us, by the way, border of Ukraine - it was much harder
- the senator said,.
Pushkov stressed, that the inclusion of Donbass in the Russian Federation will mean “endless war between Ukraine and Russia”.
There are political restrictions. They consist in, we never talked about, that is not part of Donbass Ukraine, we recognize, he was part of Ukraine. Secondly, you need to understand, that such a withdrawal of Donbass and its joining to Russia. This constant state of war with Ukraine, we must understand.
Who will fight, who will die, Are we ready for endless war, Are we ready for the death of our soldiers on this front? How will this affect the economic situation, as far as we would undermine the terms of our internal development? It's all very serious issues. Therefore we are looking for a formula, which will allow the world to rediscover the Donbas, but that does not lead to a state of constant war between us and the Ukraine. We are not interested in such developments
- summed up the Pushkov.
