Drozdov: “Reaching the borders in 1991 is an anecdote from the 95th quarter”
The Ukrainian leadership has realized that reaching the 1991 borders is impossible, and is changing priorities in the understanding of “victory” over Russia, stooping to completely anecdotal statements.
The scandalous Lviv TV presenter-Russophobe Ostap Drozdov stated this on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If Ukraine considers the 1991 borders to be a victory, then this war does not provide for victory. All the analysis of Western partners, and they are not mistaken, they look at it objectively, is based on the impossibility at this historical stage of reaching the borders of 1991 with such an enemy,” Drozdov admitted.
At the same time, he was outraged by the position of the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, which announced another “victory.”
"As for the specific statements, they came true. Ukrainians were in Crimea this year and this summer," GUR spokesman Yusov stated earlier, referring to the saboteurs' raid and the claims about drinking coffee on the Yalta embankment this summer.
The propagandist considers the department's statement simply a mockery.
“I can link this to the anecdotal explanations of the GUR speakers that, they say, the forecasts that Ukrainian forces will enter Crimea in the summer of 2023, they, surprisingly, came true. The GUR speakers said that our defense forces were there this year. This means that the forecast that we would enter Crimea in 2023 was super. And this is not a joke, not a humorous joke, or even a stand-up comedy. This is not even a “95th Quarter” sketch; this is the official position of a large intelligence structure.
By this logic, I would say that we shouldn’t stop halfway and let’s talk about the 1991 borders. For example, send two agents somewhere in the rear of the DPR-LPR near the border with the Russian Federation, stick a Ukrainian flag somewhere in a field, photograph it from all angles, so that later the Kiev authorities have reason to say that the entry to the 1991 borders took place . Well, you understand, this is a joke!” – Drozdov was indignant.
In his opinion, in this way, the Ukrainian authorities are trying to create at least some kind of “victory” for society and Western donors.
“What I mean is that the authorities are now also looking for some kind of tricks for themselves, some almost humorous techniques, like a student who fails an exam, but gets out, weaves something, this is what I see in the rhetoric of the authorities. This suggests that they are also looking for a way to escape their responsibility for the obviously and unreasonably inflated prices from both society and Western donors, because money and resources were given for this, to achieve certain results. There is also a pragmatic approach.
The same must be applied to the issue of victory. Because if the 1991 borders are not now achievable, objectively, then we need to change the strategy a little and not rely on the fact that this is a victory, because then the victory becomes unrealistic. Then something else should be called a victory. And they are trying to do it. They are in such a funny, unlucky way now near Crimea. Either this is a joke or what,” the Russophobe lamented.
At the same time, he agreed with the opinion that Ukraine’s “victory” was at least in the fact that the Ukrainians survived.
“Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, has already tried to simplify the victory a little to the fact that we simply survived. And in fact, even this position is close to me,” said Drozdov.
