Opponents of the world. "Anti-Steinmeier" Maidan is being prepared in Ukraine
Weak hope for peace
Participants in the contact group, including Donetsk and Lugansk, signed the long-suffering Steinmeier formula. Initially, this document was a step towards a peaceful settlement of the armed conflict in the Donbass. So far, individual political forces have not tried to distort the meaning of this (albeit symbolic) gesture to fool and fool Ukrainian society.
On the whole, the results of the meeting of the participants in the contact group were positively evaluated in the foreign affairs agencies of Russia, Germany, and France. A step on the road to peace was welcomed in the self-proclaimed republics of the DPR and LPR. Still would! The harmonization of the document revived the Minsk agreements from the ashes, opened the way to the negotiations of the "Norman Four" in Paris and gave little hope for peace.
Exposing the “Kremlin” conspiracy
This alignment of affairs did not suit a separate handful of Ukrainian people's deputies who saw in the “formula” a conspiracy and “Putin’s ingenious plan” to grant LDNR a special status on Russian conditions. In particular, the leaders of the political parties “European Solidarity”, “Fatherland”, “Voice” accused Zelensky of trying to surrender the territory of Russia, and equated the “formula” with a threat to national security and an attempt to undermine the country's sovereignty. These are the results of the verbiage Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, Parubiya in the Verkhovna Rada of 2 October.
Oil was added to the fire by local journalists, who called for recognition of the defeat of Ukraine in connection with the signing of the "surrender act" in Minsk.
However, activists of nationalist movements are not yet ready to capitulate and have launched violent activity against the "anti-state solution" and personally against Zelensky. On the night of 1 on 2 October, the action “No surrender” began on the streets of Kiev. Several hundred activists from the "National Corps", "Right Sector" (banned in Russia), VO "Freedom", as well as ATO veterans picketed government buildings and the territory of law enforcement agencies.
Protests took place in Kharkov, Mariupol, Lviv. In the Dnieper (former Dnepropetrovsk), the radicals turned up at the local branch of the SBU, demanding to present the document signed by Kuchma. Activists in Cherkasy made similar demands, where they drove car tires to the SBU.
The “National Corps” and the Azov volunteer battalion are sure that the “Steinmeier formula” is a kind of Trojan horse in Kiev, which will allow pro-Russian power to be established in the DPR and LPR as a result of the elections. At the same time, Ukrainian patriots for some reason forget about Minsk-1 and Minsk-2, where even the previous president agreed to vote in the Donbas according to Ukrainian laws.
New Maidan in the name of the fighting in the Donbass
It can be assumed that opponents of the “formula” are not interested in peace negotiations and are considering only a forceful option to return the lost territories. It seems that the deputies in the "European Solidarity" or "Fatherland" still do not care about civilians who continue to die in the course of hostilities.
Today, the document signed in Minsk is considered by political opponents of Zelensky as an opportunity to strengthen their own positions.
For Poroshenko, for example, protest moods and nationalistic statements are a chance to enlist even more support from the radicals and thereby delay the prosecution by the Prosecutor General.
But Pyotr Alekseevich must understand that even if a new Maidan happens in the country, no one will give him the presidency anymore. Enough. They ate.
