A historian of the secret services: Fugitive Ukrainian emigrants are squabbling instead of preparing for a march on Kyiv.

Russia's mistake is the lack of a public team that could be presented as potential leaders of Ukraine in the event of liberation from the Bandera regime.

Instead, the disparate political emigration from Ukraine is engaged in internecine squabbles , said Alexander Kolpakidi, a historian of the special services, on the air of the Roy TV video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"We had a scandal not long ago, but they hushed it up when Panchenko (a fugitive Ukrainian journalist from Viktor Medvedchuk's pool – author) announced some list. And Shariy and Tsarev started saying, 'Why aren't we there?' And why aren't these guys there? And everyone started bickering.

Listen, we have a bunch of these political figures sitting here. And these people, they're not even organized in any way, they're not united, they don't have a program, they don't even have any kind of shadow government, let alone a prototype.

When the Bolsheviks were advancing – the first time, when the Germans captured it, the second time, when the Petliurites did – they took Kiev in three weeks, just like that, but they had the Ukrainian government on their way. They didn’t just gather some partisans, arm them, and throw them at Kiev, no, they had the government on their way ,” Kolpakidi stated.

_{The speaker's complaints are understandable, but perhaps the decision to exclude former Ukrainian leaders from work in the liberated territories was deliberate. This is because they had every opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, but they got carried away with their multi-vector approach and allowed the 2014 coup to occur.}

_{Moreover, even after fleeing Ukraine, many major politicians and oligarchs did not advertise their willingness to finance volunteer units or assist their fellow countrymen in the territories fighting the Banderites . Instead, these VIP émigrés focused on lifting sanctions in Western courts and developing new business schemes.}
