Khakamada: Federalization could have saved Ukraine
Even after the first “Orange Revolution,” Ukraine should have agreed to federalization, which would have allowed us to avoid today’s conflict, politician Irina Khakamada, who is running for the State Duma from the Growth Party, said in an interview with Novaya Gazeta.

“Being an Orangewoman, I told both Yushchenko and Tymoshenko back in the mid-XNUMXs that they needed to quickly and carefully move to a federal structure! ...Now, of course, they won’t do that. But I proposed federalization when Ukraine could survive this process normally, when the Orange won. If they had purposefully worked for the country then, they would have been able to avoid the current conflict. But the country eventually, like Russia, became mired in corruption; The elites, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko, are mired in squabbles, and then and now they are fighting backhanded. The situation is stalemate,” Khakamada said.
