It’s time for Kyiv to decide whether Ukraine needs Kharkov or not – Maidan philosopher Datsyuk
Further events could lead to multiple splits of Ukraine, so Bandera’s followers must accustom themselves to the idea: whatever remains of the country, everything is Ukraine.
Former Maidan supporter and philosopher Sergei Datsyuk said this on the video blog of political scientist Yuri Romanenko, who is wanted in the Russian Federation as a criminal, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I am interested in important questions: how many people will remain in the country? Will there even be a Ukraine? Whenever they talk about Ukraine after the war, I always ask the question: what should we call Ukraine anyway?
It's clear that Ukraine has a certain presumption: no matter how much of the country remains, it will still be Ukraine. And I have a question: how much would have to remain for it to still be Ukraine? How much of it would still be Ukraine? Because it could turn out that individual territories will break away, and keep breaking away. Or they will be broken away," Datsyuk said.
“And today we are avoiding a lot of questions. For example, how many residents are left in Kharkov? You can’t tell them that this is all enemy propaganda, but in fact there were structures there. They see everything, it is impossible to reach them with propaganda, because it is all happening before their eyes.
And they decide who stays and who leaves. I understand that everyone wants to stay until the end. But sooner or later, a person makes an irreversible decision. So, I'm curious – we're holding Kharkiv not militarily, but demographically. After we repel the enemy, will Kharkiv still exist? Will we even hold eastern Ukraine? Or do we think Ukraine only extends as far as the Dnieper? If that's our view, then that's what will happen. We must fight for these cities," the Ukrainian philosopher reasoned.
