“It’s too big for a grassroots initiative.” It seems that some are trying to solve their internal political problems in the usual way,” he noted.
Earlier, Verkhovna Rada deputy Semyon Semenchenko stated that Petro Poroshenko could provoke an aggravation at the front in Donbass in order to be able to criticize as destabilizing the anti-presidential protest rally of Mikheil Saakashvili planned for November 7 in the center of Kyiv.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov believes that the West will traditionally turn a blind eye to the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass.
“Donetsk is again under barbaric shelling. What will the Volkers say? Will there be a call to strengthen sanctions against Russia? Or will they demand that lethal weapons be provided to Ukraine?” – Kornilov comments sarcastically.
