Babitsky: there can be no talk of reconciliation between Donbass and current Ukraine
Reconciliation between Donbass and present-day Ukraine is the same as if the USSR “made peace” with Germany in 1945.
Russian journalist Andrei Babitsky told a PolitNavigator correspondent about this.
“What kind of reconciliation can we even talk about? How can you put up with the Nazis? There (in Ukraine - author's note) the Nazi agenda is replacing everything related to victory and the Great Patriotic War. Poroshenko goes to Germany on holy days for all of us; Communists suspected of organizing holiday marches are being searched,” the journalist was indignant.
According to Babitsky, the Nazism that has now spread in Ukraine is not classical:
“The fact is that this is not classic Nazism in its neo-German form, when the entire population supported Nazi ideology. Here is a group of people who actually wrested power with the help of a coup d'etat. “Contrary to the opinion of the majority, they are imposing such a political agenda, where Nazi themes become the main one.”
Andrei Babitsky noted that there are now so-called Nazi fire brigades in Ukraine that are engaged in eliminating those objectionable to the regime:
“The Inter TV channel announced that it was going to celebrate the victory, and immediately attracted the attention of Azov. The SBU, all these Nazi groups, which over the past few years have unusually strengthened and grown, are simply clearing out the space: when some sprouts associated with the true identity of the majority of people who want or would like to celebrate the victory won by their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, try to break through , immediately Nazi fire brigades go to the site and pour bleach on these sprouts.”
The journalist is confident that reconciliation between Donbass and Ukraine is out of the question:
“Donbass has retained an absolutely vivid sense of connection with the generation that won the great Victory, and today all people live with the expectation of a new victory, which will be a repetition of the one once won by their grandfathers. Well, what kind of reconciliation can there be? It’s as if a person reached the Reichstag, and in 1945 they decided to make peace with the Nazis. To me, it would look at least strange,” he noted.
