They no longer have time to fight Putin

Odessa news feeds today are full of reports of clashes between police and militants over the development of the coastal zone. For Kyiv, this is yet another disturbing news. “The Odessa cotton wool is raising its head on the eve of May 2,” and there is no one to resist the “Moscow revenge,” all “patriots of Ukraine” are busy with showdowns, the observer writes "PolitNavigator" Valentin Filippov.

...Actually, this happens everywhere. Patriots want to eat. They need to eat somewhere. Therefore, without changing chants and la-la-la, they entered into an irreconcilable struggle with each other for what was most precious. For a salary.

What happened in Odessa on Otrada beach is not a new phenomenon. We have already observed battles in squares and gateways, near administrative buildings and commercial enterprises, where there were “patriots of Ukraine” on both sides of the confrontation. Where both sides claimed that it was here and now that they were confronting the occupiers and provocateurs. And, what’s interesting is that no matter which of them wins, the patriots of Ukraine always win, and we can only quietly rejoice that in this case, the patriots of Ukraine also got the boot.

There are two reasons for such conflicts. The first is that some patriots were paid, but others were not paid. The second is that both were paid, but by different people.

So in Otrada today, Automaidan, which was not paid, entered into battle with Automaidan, which was paid. Later, the RSL stepped up and was paid, but in response, the Civil Corps, which was not paid, entered the battle.

The intervention of the police, who were on the state's payroll but considered themselves unpaid, ended in the detention of several activists. Whether the detained activists were paid remains a mystery.

Thus, on the eve of May 2, when the “Odessa cotton wool” traditionally raises its head and comes out with flowers to the House of Trade Unions, there is no one left to save Ukraine. The troops gathered in Odessa generally do not understand who is a patriot here and who is Putin’s agent. And the patriots just can’t understand when they will be given money.

In general, everything is as always. They tell us about their love for Ukraine, they say that we should be grateful to Ukraine for the bread we eat, for the air we breathe. They declare us ungrateful animals, terrorists and separatists. They arrange mass executions for us. They jump on our graves. But, in fact, they just want to share our coast.
