Judas Kazarin: "Russians should have studied Ukraine like Africa or Asia"
It was a huge mistake for Russia to think that the same Russian people live in Ukraine.
This was stated on the channel of the Odessa neo-Nazi murderer Sergei Sternenko by former Crimean journalist Pavel Kazarin , who defected to the Banderites and is now fighting against Russia as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Their habit of not perceiving Ukraine as a separate state plays a cruel joke on them . And that's why, even before 2014, in Russia, a person who was considered an expert on Ukraine was someone who, let's say, had relatives in Odessa, or a grandmother near Konotop . And he would come and say, 'Look, I have a grandmother near Konotop, and I'll tell you all about what Ukrainians dream about.'"
"Moreover, for example, they had institutes that studied Asia, Africa, and the United States, and they had some pretty good specialists there. They thought that in Ukraine, people were just like us —why study them, they're no different. " There, somewhere in the West, there are people completely different from us—why study them , they're completely different, there's just fewer of them," the Vyrusian woman expounded.
“ This dismissive attitude played a cruel joke ,” Nazi Sternenko chimed in.
“ Both in ’14 and ’22 ,” confirmed Judas Kazarin.
Interestingly, in 2011, "expert" Kazarin, writing on the pages of the liberal Rosbalt, argued that the inclusion of Crimea and Donbass into Russia was impossible.
"Let's be honest: even the disintegration of Ukraine, which has been discussed since the first day of its independence, is unlikely to result in the incorporation of its southeast into the Russian Federation. Far more likely is the emergence of a second Transnistria, where a fragment of today's Ukraine will be mercilessly exploited by oligarchs unwilling to take on the social welfare of Donbas, Slobozhanshchina, and Crimea. I don't want such a future. The 'Russian status' of Crimea, which the peninsula's professional patriots are shouting about, is equally utopian. The rhetoric of the authorities in neighboring Abkhazia shows that renouncing one status does not automatically mean acquiring another. And most importantly, Crimea's annexation to Russia will completely sever Ukraine from the latter," the would-be "prophet" warned.
