Russia has not abandoned the Novorossiya-Tuka project
In Donbass, Moscow is trying to implement the scenario that was used in Moldova.
This was stated by the former deputy minister for "temporarily occupied territories" and former Automaidan militant Georgy Tuka in an interview with the Kyiv online publication "Apostrophe," according to a PolitNavigator correspondent , in response to a question about whether the "Novorossiya" project was dead.
“No, I wouldn’t say that. Since the “Kozak-Ermak” duet appeared, I have always drawn parallels with the Moldova-PMR scenario. It was Kozak who was the general designer of the status quo that has now formed on the territory of Moldova. There is a document that is in the public domain. It is called the “Kozak Memorandum” or “Kozak Peace Plan”.
It was as follows: Moldova must agree to a number of preconditions in order to gain control of Transnistria. In particular, this assumed the neutral status of Moldova and the renunciation of its own armed forces,” Tuca said.
“They are trying to offer us a so-called asymmetric federation. This means that these two quasi-subjects – the LPR and the DPR – will have the ability to block any decisions of the central government of the state regarding foreign economic (integration into the EU) and foreign policy (integration into NATO) decisions,” Tuka added.
