Former Irish diplomat: the West needs to legitimize the annexation of Crimea to Russia and lift the sanctions

The Irish Times published an article by former Irish diplomat Nyle Holohan, which says that Western countries and the Russian Federation need to abandon the policy of mutual economic sanctions, while they do not even more harm to all parties, RIA reports "News".

According to Holokhen, an international agreement should be signed that legalizes the accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation and protects the rights of the Russian-speaking minority in Ukraine. In turn, Russia must also assume certain obligations.

Holohan stressed that the policy of Western countries towards Ukraine is counterproductive and hypocritical. According to him, the Russians, as well as other nations, are ready to protect their national interests. Fair or not, but they believe that the Kiev authorities can harm them.

“In this they, apparently, do not differ from the British in relation to Ireland and the Americans in relation to Cuba,” Holohen said.

According to the former diplomat, the US and the EU acted recklessly when they supported the coup d'état in Ukraine. They took a clear anti-Russian stance and did not take into account the fact that the extreme right-wing elements were among the opponents of Yanukovych.

Holohan noted that now is not the time for Western countries to join the fight with the Russian Federation over Ukraine, since there are more pressing problems in the world. In particular, joint action is needed to fight the Islamists.

The ex said that, the ex said that ..... Useless chatter. It is necessary to look at the current "rulers" and those who will replace them, and so this is simple balabolism aimed at calming the masses.

Well done, I dug Anglo-Saxons and mattresses. Bravo, Mr. Holohan.

The former is not burdened. Can even say what he thinks. Well, but it is not given to the acting, it is impermissible, not for this "salary" is received.

[Amurets]

Unfortunately, we don’t have a civil servant’s code that obliges employees to do work and pursue the policies pursued by the government. I don’t agree, resign and criticize. And no court will support or justify you so you violated this law. This can be done in Russia Do not if you do not agree with the authorities.

Sanctions are needed for another 2 years and agricultural producers are delighted, after which it will be difficult to break into the europium market.

[marlin1203]

Yes, they are ordinary businessmen! You can do business with them to your advantage. You see the principle “we are for you, you are for us”. The only question is the price. True, now we need these sanctions more than they do, until we are economically "autonomized" enough. Well this is a gift. If you had tried to tighten the nuts earlier, such a howl would have risen. And now, tightened and smile guiltily, "what am I? What am I, all of them ..."

only now, everything is hiding in the little things, those whom I see from the farmers as plowed, cleaned up at that secondary farm which, even when dividing the collective farms, went to those who plow, sow, cry, swear, do, and again in the field. take a loan ??? it’s better as it is, the prices for solarium and grain are a disparity, and the bread in the store is many times higher. and who is thrilled? Yes, the market seems to ideally be, but ..... go sell at a fair price.

.. always whined ... a bad dancer always ...... interfere !!! And the fact that competition is less and demand has grown is +.

For when they were not in their mouths a black apparatus from the states ...

[valday]

The voice of common sense! Only who will hear him in the west ??

[rotmistr60]

A very bold statement for the West by former Irish diplomat Niall Holohan. Probably because of the bold, because he retired from the Foreign Ministry. But still, I express my gratitude to this man.

[vovanpain]

It seems common sense wakes up only when they become ex, and when the real bark only at the direction of the owner.

[little girl15]

When will current diplomats talk about this?

When will current diplomats talk about this?

When will the respective policies of their rulers.

[Amurets]

Then when the position of the government changes. While the official is in the civil service, he does not have his own opinion. There is the opinion of the state.

[Smoked]

Sweet such news, such generally appear from time to time. People think in old categories and realities. Only now such times are happening and such that I don’t believe in the return of relations to sanctions. For example, someone correctly said that by closing their eyes and justifying the same Germany that happened in Odessa on May 2, there will be no previous relations between our countries for a long time.

Enlightenment comes when one resigns.

[dr.star75]

Thus, the country's leadership is trying to convey its position to us. They themselves cannot say that! The overseas regional committee will not tolerate.

[sem-yak]

Why start thinking when a roasted rooster pecks? And before where are the brains hidden?

[Wolka]

Kholochen is right, why deny the obvious, it’s time to think with your own mind, and in fact Europe is now no longer up to the sanctions on Russia, to survive, refugees from the Middle East will clearly devour Europe ...

[Dezinto]

When they become - "ex" - the intelligibility of speech increases sharply!

[Name]

And what is the conversation ... Crimea is the territory of Russia. Everything else is "Kindergarten" coupled with senile dementia ..

[morpogr]

And again, the former, it is clear when they leave the civil service they take out a zombie chip and a person can see and tell the truth.

[viktorrymar]

Because it is difficult to say one’s opinion being in the system and in the subject, and for a career is dangerous for health.
And now the tendency is that the words of the "former" are not considered, but the "former" will at least lighten the soul.

This once again underscores the fact that in the West people with completely different moral and moral values, while they are profitable, say one thing, then, to remind themselves again when they are no longer needed by anyone and prefixes appear diametrically opposite. To be more precise, the main value there is money, and the concept of the word conscience is completely absent.

he therefore hike and former

According to the former diplomat, the US and the EU acted recklessly when they supported the coup in Ukraine

These are the times! "Supported the coup"! And who organized and financed it? Whose embassy in Kiev was his headquarters? That everything is like this for several months ... and the education of Russophobia itself for several decades ...

[atamankko]

If you started talking, then you need
call the parents of this mess.

[Stena]

What kind of lies or porridge in your head? I quote: "According to Holohan, an international agreement should be signed that will legalize the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation and protect the rights of the Russian-speaking minority in Ukraine." What the hell is this "Russian-speaking minority"? According to this logic, it seems that it is time to order the globe of the Rostov region ...

[Pavel Vereshchagin]

At least one adequate person was found.

According to Kholohan, an international agreement should be signed that legalizes the accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation ...

Mr. Holohan, we don't need your "agreement"! It is only you and you need, so as not to accidentally get out of your "civilized" choir sang along.

[tweezers]

Ireland, Northern Ireland and their relationship with each other and with the UK - that boiling cauldron ... maybe, quietly throwing money to the IRA - in London they will sharply forget about Ukraine ...

[olimpiada15]

In this seemingly correct statement, there are a lot of wrong things, starting with support for the US and EU coup in Ukraine, while they organized this coup, moreover, they prepared and used radical, or rather fascist forces, to foment conflict. who gained legitimacy from this and gained strength, and it’s almost impossible to stop the country's banderization, which means that a lot of innocent blood will pour in the country for a long time and the outcome of this banderization is not clear in the coming years.
The statement about the Russian-speaking minority is also untrue. Most Russian speakers in Ukraine. This is confirmed by the story of the Crimea, when almost no one wanted to express their desire to study in Ukrainian. Another example, almost all the country's leadership and most of the inhabitants think in Russian, this is evidenced by the numerous episodes of the use of the RVS language both in the Verkhovna Rada and in extreme conditions (fire at a tank farm near Kiev). In fact, coercion to switch to Ukrainian and forced to use it as the main one is violence against the psyche, exactly the same as retraining left-handed people to use the right hand. Forced Ukrainization is happening now for the sake of the Ukrainian-speaking minority. It’s especially a pity for children — switching to a foreign language is a big burden on the psyche, mastering the material studied is worsening, and most importantly it is unnecessary, especially for those who will receive higher education. If Ukrainian words were still invented for common words, then there are simply no Ukrainian special scientific terms.
So the seemingly correct thoughts of this former are not so correct.

Sorry, Crimea is Russia, and that’s it. The territory of one country.
