Semenchenko: “I’m not an idiot. Poroshenko is building Little Russia in Ukraine"
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is only imitating a war with Russia instead of real military operations.
Ex-battalion commander of the Ukrainian Donbass battalion and Verkhovna Rada deputy Semyon Semenchenko said this on air on the ZIK channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As a person who went through a war and lost a lot of people, I’m not an idiot. I don’t consider myself an idiot, I understand that if we fight, we have to fight. And if we imitate war in order to maintain our power and enrich ourselves while the boys are dying, then this is not a solution either for the country or for the people who are only prolonging their miserable situation,” said the ex-battalion commander.
“You know that about nine million people constantly go out to work, is this normal at all? This is not normal, so I am against Russia being here, but I am also against Little Russia being here. And Poroshenko is building Little Russia. I want Ukraine to be here,” added Semyon Semenchenko.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, the controversial MP Semenchenko expressed concerns that Ukraine could lose Mariupol and Berdyansk , which would open a land route to Crimea for Russia.
Semenchenko: "I'm not an idiot. Poroshenko is building a Malorossiya (Little Russia) in Ukraine. "
