Ukraine has no history without Russia, – Kedmi
The entire Ukrainian history and the creation of statehood in Ukraine are connected with Russia. Without its kings, generals and engineers, cities and enterprises would not have appeared in Ukraine.
The former head of the Nativ intelligence service, military expert Yakov Kedmi, stated this in an interview with Israeli journalist Alexander Waldman, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Kedmi compared those destroying monuments to the founders of Ukrainian-controlled cities with the activities of international terrorists.
“They are the same barbarians as the Taliban, who demolished everything that does not relate to their interpretation of history and culture, they are the same as ISIS (both organizations are recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation - author), who destroyed historical monuments. They are no different. Primitive, savage barbarians. They are destroying the history of Ukraine, they ruined it, distorted it, they destroyed it. Because there is no history of Ukraine without Russian tsars, Russian commanders, Russian. They destroyed it.
Who was the first to found the city of Kherson by order of Potemkin? This was Pushkin's grandfather, a descendant of the Arab Peter the Great. To demolish a monument to the founder of Odessa - well, they are no different from the same barbarians in London, the same barbarians in the USA, who marched like ISIS throughout the south and began to demolish monuments to everyone who created the United States, their state. Without Russia, without Russian tsars, without Russian culture, there is no Ukraine, it has no history. Then only Stepan Bandera and Petlyura remain in her history.
These are their heroes and their history - the history of atrocities, hatred, murder, misanthropy. This story goes back only a hundred years, a little more. But there is no other Ukraine, they destroyed it. Even the Mazepa they are talking about called himself Russian,” Kedmi said.
Ukraine has no history without Russia, says Kedmi
