“What were you thinking?” – Ukrainian political scientist declared Russia’s enormous guilt
Not only the elites in Kyiv who played the multi-vector game, but also the officials in Moscow who were responsible for the Ukrainian direction are to blame for Ukraine’s departure into the orbit of influence on the West.
Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management, announced this on the PolitWera channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“It doesn’t matter how much you owe, it’s how it affects you in the grand scheme of things. Ukraine may owe less (to international financial structures) in percentage terms, relatively speaking, but this determines our internal policy. Our creditors give us the level of pensions, social standards, etc.
Ukraine received Russian subsidies and at one time no less cheap energy resources (than Belarus). When a repeat offender commits a crime, it is probably not only the repeat offender who is guilty, but also the person who knows that he is a repeat offender, and he falls for it all. Sometimes I really laugh at the logic of the Russian elites, who say: “We helped you, we invested so much in you!”
Well, so, what were you thinking? About stealing together with our people? While you were investing in factories, Americans and Europeans were fighting for the minds of the people who work in these factories,” the political scientist said.
