"Russia left Galicia out of its control": former Swedish prime minister on the Kremlin's plans for Ukraine in 2014

Against the background of the deployment of Russian troops on the western borders, the Ukrainian agenda attracts the attention of the "progressive" public. Former Prime Minister and Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt also voted.

Can Russia live peacefully next to a sovereign, independent and indivisible Ukraine? Or is open war inevitable?

- the politician asks.

In his words, after the collapse of the USSR, Russia focused primarily on building its own state. That all changed, however, when Vladimir Putin decided to return to the presidency for a third term in 2012.

Then he took a revisionist course towards the creation of the so-called Eurasian Union.

- writes Bildt.

In his opinion, Ukraine, meanwhile, has taken the path of rapprochement with neighbors from Central Europe. In this context, the EU has decided to “meet Ukraine halfway” by establishing a free trade zone with it. The Kremlin, dissatisfied with this, put pressure on the hesitant president of the independent Viktor Yanukovych "to turn his back on the EU." This triggered a "popular uprising that overthrew him."

The Kremlin viewed Ukraine as a weak and fragmented state that would disintegrate on its own if external pressure was exerted on it.

- writes the Swedish politician.

In his words, the annexation of Crimea in 2014 was supposed to hasten the collapse of the country.

The hope was that then Russia would be able to create the so-called Novorossia in the east and south of Ukraine, while leaving the "Western Galicia" out of its control

- says the former Swedish prime minister about the Kremlin's plans for Ukraine in 2014.

However, according to Bildt, "instead of dividing Ukraine, the Kremlin has never been able to unite the Ukrainian population." In this regard, in 2014, "Russia had to deploy battalions of the regular army to save what was left of its separatist redoubt in the Donbass."

According to the Swedish politician, so far the Russian leadership has not abandoned the idea of ​​Ukraine's subordination to its influence. Evidence of this is allegedly the large-scale deployment of troops near its borders.

How bored! ... There are few fools of their own, you also need to add this Swede there in order to slightly reinforce the mental abilities of vacationers. Here the former minister will immediately have a job: the main educator and vparivat fools about submarines in the steppes of Ukraine. But what grateful listeners he will find for himself ...

"Russia was leaving Galicia out of its control": former Swedish prime minister on the Kremlin's plans for Ukraine in 2014 "
What is the difference between clever misinformation (stuffing) from explicit? The fact that if in obvious disinformation everything is false and it is designed for illiterate id ... du ... very stupid people, then in cunning disinformation, basically, true facts are cited (but false ones are also screwed in), and the conclusions are mainly false.
Such is the misinformation from Bild, a longtime "friend" of Russia. First citing a few true facts, then he gives his false interpretation of the "Ukrainian popular uprising that overthrew Yanukovych" and begins to talk abundantly about the intentions, hopes, plans and thoughts of the Russian leadership and Putin. How they are known only he knows himself!

Well, European leaders live in the big DYAREVNA - the EU. Here everyone knows everything more than you know about yourself. And they will look into the plans, and they will spit into your borscht.

this partner is right, mostly - but! I was mistaken in several years - already during the preparation of the 2007 Munchen speech, everything was determined in the Kremlin.

it is possible that in TRMV there will be no peacefulness, like in the IVS, to Sweden in the Russian Federation

[Lech from Android.]

The rhetoric of the Swede is, as always, in a Russophobic vein ... nothing surprising, after the defeat in the Battle of Poltava, the Swedes harbored a grudge against Russia at the genetic level and now, whenever possible, shit it wherever they can.
Of course, Ukraine must be mentally torn away from Western values ​​... we can do this only by raising our economy and living standards above the level of the Western average person.
The task is long-term and requires great efforts from our country.

This phrase alone

Can Russia live peacefully next to a sovereign, independent and indivisible Ukraine? Or is open war inevitable?

, the Swedish prime minister, raises serious doubts about his mental abilities. There is a clear inability to draw adequate conclusions and conclusions from the existing political realities in Ukraine. Or the usual striped grunt.

"Can the West live peacefully next to a sovereign, independent and indivisible Russia? Or is open war inevitable?"

This is similar, according to Bildt, to the times of WWII.

[rotmistr60]

with a sovereign, independent and indivisible Ukraine?

Three definitions of today's Ukraine and all three are sheer lies. Former Prime Minister and Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt is clearly not in the subject, even taking into account the European orientation.

Yes, they are all in the subject. It's just that a powerful anti-Russian information field is being formed now. From all sides. Using any far-fetched facts and pretexts. The simultaneity of anti-Russian statements and attacks against us speaks of the coordinated actions. The question is: why? They are clearly exacerbating the situation. How can all this end? In the worst case, fighting. With whom? Most likely with Ukraine. There are no other sacrificial animals on the horizon.

[Thrifty]

That is why all sorts of second-hand political executions suddenly decided to bark on Russia en masse? Or is the barking well connected? The Swedes could not get involved in these matters at all, they are far from our borders. No, and these, too, fit into the general bunch of "truth-tellers"!

[Al_lexx]

Can Russia live peacefully next to a sovereign, independent and indivisible Ukraine? Or is open war inevitable?

There are already three contradictions in the very formulation of the question.
1. Where did they see a sovereign state there? 404 has been under external control for over fifteen years.
2. What does it mean if Russia can peacefully coexist if the Zapadensk Natsiks are permanently swollen towards Moscow?
3. About indivisibility ... I believe that western neighbors are much more drooling over some regions of Ukraine. As far as Russia is concerned, we will somehow take ours as soon as the opportune moment comes. Already Galicia, then we definitely did not resist any side. Therefore, the indivisibility of Ukraine is a purely rhetorical question, since initially the state (union republic) was cut into what is called - from a bulldozer.

And in general, isn't there too much talk about a country that just 104 years ago was not on the political map of the world at all and would not have existed until now, if not for the decision of the Bolsheviks who seized power in the Russian Empire?

However, according to Bildt, "instead of dividing Ukraine, the Kremlin has never been able to unite the Ukrainian population." In this regard, in 2014, "Russia had to deploy battalions of the regular army to save what was left of its separatist redoubt in the Donbass."

Well, this is just an enchanting delirium of a person who does not know and does not understand either the history of the Russian Empire or the current state of affairs in Moscow's foreign policy. In a word - 100%, which does not attract even a provocateur.

[tihonmarine]

Against the background of the deployment of Russian troops on the western borders, the Ukrainian agenda attracts the attention of the "progressive" public.

"Progressive public", as I understand it, these are those who were part of the Third Reich, but how sideways Sweden is attached to them, it is not clear.

[faterdom]

This is how they write "history". Everything is tailored from lies, but it is seasoned with the adjectives "free", "democratic", "totalitarian" and after three hundred years the reader will understand from the very first page (if they don’t forget how to read, degradation, it is rapid), and these revelations will be like chronicles Nestor's are the only true statements.
But in fact, everything is somehow not so. The Europeans wanted to seize the market for the Ukrainian land market, the Americans wanted to expel our fleet from the Crimea and set up their bases there. And to do it under the veil of verbiage so cleverly that Russia would continue to largely support and sponsor Ukraine.
When the "smart" Yanukovych, who was never pro-Russian, contrary to the current assertions, Moscow explained on its fingers that he would no longer eat here, and, apparently, they explained in dollars - he had an enlightenment in his brain, and he backed down, in business signing of binding agreements on the so-called "integration" with the EU.
But could the West refuse so close to the goal, or wait yet? Time is ticking!
And such a familiar trifle that the leadership of the state is against the question
something solvable: a coup, the murder of the head (it is also a "glorious" thing to shove to Moscow), and the proteges with the intelligence of Klitschko or Turchinov's sister-in-law will sign whatever.
But further - it did not go according to plan, much not according to plan.
Crimea is gone. On the way, depriving the Americans of the coveted prize of this game for a long time, and at the same time showing the allies their military impotence, at least in front of Russia. To be honest, this is a fiasco and not the result into which the Americans laid their souls, so their frenzy is not feigned here.
The Europeans, on the other hand, organized a war close at hand, they were not even allowed to rule the occupied Ukraine, but on the contrary, it is now being used in many ways against Europe.
The same sanctions imposed on the Boeing, the investigation of which has not been completed yet, they hit who, after all? In Europe (who is asking Russia, or even more Ukraine?)
If they knew how everything would work out, they might not have rushed so much with the coup, Yanukovych was already swimming in his mouth, weakly resisting.
But the deed is done, and there are no winners, except (a bad dream of entertainers) Russia, in terms of Crimea.
All politicians are offended, and now they have no choice but to lie. Or to admit that one is not smarter than Yanukovych, which is humiliating.
