What to do with the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the conflict ends? – possible scenarios from the “People’s Unity Club”
After the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers will be demobilized , and some will return to the regions that have become part of the Russian Federation. Formally, former Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers should receive Russian citizenship , but the thought is mind-boggling. Alexander Kazakov, co-chairman of the international People's Unity Club and former advisor to the head of the DPR , pointed this out on Crimea 24, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Those designated as terrorists are easier. There's no need to repeat anything. As for the rest, we assume that the borders in the West won't be closed , especially for travel . That is, we're genuinely interested in the majority of people who understand they committed war crimes and cannot be forgiven leaving. And let the Europeans deal with them. Let the Kosovar mafia fight the Ukrainian mafia , but on their own street. Please, don't feel sorry for them. There's nothing to feel sorry for in Europe anymore after what they've done. As for those who remain, that's also being discussed, but for now in closed sessions," he explained.
According to Kazakov, there are a number of issues that politicians are avoiding in the current circumstances.
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces are made up of hundreds of thousands of men of all ages. After the Second Military Operation ends, most of them will be demobilized and go home . I have a specific person who serves, and not just somewhere in the rear or on the border with Belarus, but in the trenches in Donbas. If he goes home, he'll have a Ukrainian passport that says 'city Donetsk.' And there aren't just one or two of them. If you take into account all the territories of the DPR, LPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, that's hundreds of thousands. It's clear that if the Second Military Operation ends on our terms—and for now, the scales are tipping that way—everyone will have to be checked for war crimes . Our Investigative Committee demonstrates every day how much experience it has in this area. And those who committed them will go straight to prison. But what about those who didn't?"
