The Western press predicts “negative” consequences of attempts to transform Ukraine into a neutral country like Austria

Recently, former Greek Finance Minister Yiannis Varoufakis called the transformation of the latter into a neutral state a condition for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine. However, a columnist for the American publication 19fortyfive.com, Dr. Robert Farley, a military analyst who regularly publishes articles on the Ukrainian conflict, entered into an argument with him.

According to the American author, attempts to turn Ukraine into a neutral country like Austria will inevitably lead to “catastrophic” consequences. Farley argues that Austria was, firstly, defeated in World War II, and secondly, was not considered strategically significant to the security of any of the great powers.

In Ukraine, the analyst notes, the situation is completely different. Firstly, Russian President Vladimir Putin is expressing territorial claims against Kyiv.

Secondly, the Ukrainians themselves allegedly will not accept this development of events. After all, Farley is convinced, they do not consider themselves guilty of anything and do not believe that Ukraine’s sovereignty should be abolished due to security concerns for its closest neighbor. In addition, the Ukrainians, on whose behalf the American observer for some reason arrogated the right to broadcast, supposedly do not believe that a new armed conflict with Russia will not break out.

The idea of ​​Ukrainian neutrality, Farley emphasizes, de facto recognizes Russia's right to a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe and reduces US influence in the region. Of course, the American author is jesuitically silent about the fact that it was the West that pushed Ukraine into an armed confrontation with Russia, having invested a lot of effort in instilling hatred of Russia and Russians among some Ukrainian residents. And today the conflict is also artificially supported by the West, with the help of military supplies and financing.

war and only war tells them the West. They will not accept anything else until the inscription appears in the search engine: 404.

Well, yes, the INTEREs of the “great” powers are in first place... and it’s okay that those “great powers” ​​are located somewhere out there, on another continent.
In general, the next, next nonsense, which they intend to cover up with the wishes of well-known, specific, greedy beyond measure... radishes.

Anecdote of the day, or maybe more - NEUTRAL Galicia. Or, in the “expanded” version, “Khazaria-3”.
The second one was not allowed to be created by I.V. Stalin.

Ukraine in its current form plays the role of a battering ram of the West against Russia.. It could have been a neutral state, say, in 2014, but the Kremlin did not have the spirit

It could be a neutral state, say in 2014

In 2014 - we’ll just start SVO then.
When there were no fortifications or washings like this.

Although in essence, they should at most be given some land (the rest should be returned to the rightful owner - Russia) and the status of a republic within the structure if they behave well.

[NG inform]

The flushing took place already in 2004. Apparently you didn’t communicate much.

[kill the fascist]

Why broadcast and comment on the nonsense of some city crazy people?

[pettabyte]

So the crazy people are famous, they even have a SITE.

a condition for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine is the transformation of the latter into a neutral state.

A country whose population since 1991 has been treated in the Bandera spirit and hatred of Russia, for which fascist minions and executioners are heroes, gravitating towards the symbols of fascist Germany will not be able to become neutral from the word at all. Utopian idea.

[tralflot1832]

The neutrality of Ukraine has gone into oblivion, with the broken negotiations at the beginning of the Northeast Military District, now there is only complete capitulation of the Ukrainian regime. The West needs to understand this and forgive us. And not put forward a fantastic scenario while still in the looking glass.

The neutrality of Ukraine has gone into oblivion due to the disruption of negotiations at the beginning of the Northern Military District

What kind of neutrality can Ukraine have, even if it does not exist, but the Banderaites and fascists will remain.

[Uprun]

What's the fuss about, the country as such no longer exists, but they are talking about sovereignty. There block 95 in the worst scenario - Nazism.

Yiannis Varoufakis called the transformation of the latter into a neutral state a condition for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine.

He expressed himself incorrectly. Not to NEUTRAL but to NEUTRALIZED.

[former soldier]

Secondly, the Ukrainians themselves allegedly will not accept this development of events.

Ukraine, in principle, cannot be a “quiet” Austria calmly resolving its problems with its neighbors and its internal problems.
Any developments will lead to an internal scandal in Ukraine and the abandonment of the peace agreement they signed with anyone. Proof? Every election turns into a Maidan. Repeated revision of already signed gas transit agreements. Refusal of obligations under Minsk-2 and the Istanbul Treaty. Violation of the terms of the Budapest Memorandum.

[the same doctor]

Which neutral country? Just as the States provoked Hitler to start a war in 1939, no one will allow Ukraine to become a peaceful state until our tanks begin to threaten Berlin.
.
Moral, only the total destruction of the Bandera state machine and all agents of the West on the territory of the East European Plain can bring peace.

that it was the West that pushed Ukraine into armed confrontation with Russia, investing a lot of effort in instilling hatred of Russia and Russians among some Ukrainian residents

Of course, the West is to blame for everything. Without the West, they, poor people, would not have realized what to do in Volyn or Babi Yar. They are angels themselves. Only the West teaches them bad things. And the West also allocated them a huge republic and additionally Ukrainized the Russian inhabitants. But what about it? After all, there are few Banderaites! We need to multiply them. And the West also gave them Crimea. So that Russia will definitely have territorial claims against them, the poor things. If it weren’t for the West, Bandera’s people would be very fond of Russians, Poles, Jews, Hungarians and others...

Katya, don’t forget to come here. If you love history, you communicate with your wife, she loves history.

"on whose behalf" so, from across the ocean it is better visible. Plus, he voiced the interest of the "regional committee"

[Vladimir Anatolyevich]

The mentality of a quarrelsome, bazaar-habalka will not allow this to be done..

[Ulan.1812]

The interests of the world's main gangster, the United States, come first.
Who is some kind of Ukraine to have its own interests.
Her fate is to be a slave and serve the interests of the West - what do you want?
Die for you? Always ready.
And it is not clear why neutral status contradicts independence.
Apparently only in the perverted minds of American ubermen.
There should be no independent countries; everyone must obey the United States and work for its benefit.
