Confession of a European integrator: Ukraine is the outskirts of the planet, “it’s not clear what” between Europe and Russia
As a result of the Maidan and “European reforms” in Ukraine, “it’s unclear what” was built between Russia and Europe.
This assessment of what was built in Ukraine as a result of the Maidan and "European reforms" was given in an interview with the Kyiv publication ONLINE.UA by Ukrainian traveler and blogger Evgeny Ikhelzon , founder of the tourism project "I Love Asia."
“In 1965, when Singapore gained independence, the country's GDP per capita was three times higher than that of the USSR. That is, by the time the “great economic miracle” began, they were already living normally, they were not the outskirts of the planet, as our people think. No, the outskirts of the planet are here, here, between Europe and Russia, it’s unclear what,” he said.
What adds special value and piquancy to Ikhelzon’s confessions is the fact that for many years he himself advocated for the European integration of Ukraine, organized the network initiative “We are Europeans,” which was one of the first to support both the Maidan and the civil war under the guise of “ATO.” It is worth mentioning that Evgeniy Ikhelzon is a former Donetsk resident himself; his parents live in Donetsk. What does not prevent him from supporting the so-called. “ATO.”
