“The peoples of Crimea and Donbass do not exist” – ex-head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry
Unlike the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Crimea, Donbass, as well as other territories liberated from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, did not have the right to self-determination, since the peoples of these regions simply do not exist.
This statement was made on the air of Radio NV by the former head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and now the head of the Russian Research Center, Vladimir Ogryzko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At the same time, the Russophobe immediately wrote down Donetsk and Crimean residents as “Ukrainian people” in order to substantiate his false thesis.
“They say that the people of Donbass have “self-determined” or the people of Crimea. So this is complete nonsense. There are no people of Crimea, no people of Donbass, no people of the Kharkov region or Lugansk region. There are Ukrainian people who live on this territory.
But there are Chechens, the Chechen people who live on their land, there are the Adyghe people who live on their land. There are many peoples, including the Tatars, who live on their own land and many other peoples who became victims of Russian, Moscow, colonialism.
So these peoples, according to international law, have the full right to self-determination. The fact that we recognize, Ukraine as a state recognizes this right is absolutely normal. The only question is when this right will be realized. But, if an understanding is formed in the world that one or another people enslaved by Muscovy wants to live their own independent life, then, of course, it is possible to resist this, but this will go against the tenets of modern international law, namely the UN Charter,” Ohryzko babbled.
He noted that the issue of the “collapse of Russia” must be approached with all seriousness and raised at the international level.
“These things are correct. We must pay appropriate attention to these facts in the international arena. We must explain to our dear foreign Western partners that in any case, the fate of Russia has already been determined. It will fall apart. Objectively, it cannot stay within its current boundaries. The question is how fast this collapse will be. Will these be separate small pieces or will it be a complete collapse,” added the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
