Ukrainian philosopher: Difficult times are behind us, but disaster lies ahead
The Ukrainian leadership is not even trying to rely on its own people - instead, Vladimir Zelensky and his team are inciting hostility between the army and the rear.
The Kiev philosopher Sergei Datsyuk, who previously supported the Maidan activists, stated this on the “Wild Live” video blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"In his recent interview, Zelenskyy made it clear that he's angry not because of his enemies' successes, or even because of their lack of success on the battlefield. Zelenskyy is ostensibly irritated by the instability of his allies, but he's mainly focusing on the disengagement of some Ukrainians from the process itself ," the host said.
Datsyuk complained that Zelensky himself has been creating a split between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the population for two years.
“He does not build a solidarity economy, and does not think about how to build it during a war. People are not sidelined when they are considered the rear, when the entire economy is built on them.
"And when your rear is the West, as has been the case for the last two years, then why be surprised that the people aren't your rear? It was the West that created this division—there's the front, and there's the rear. Between them lies a rift in which corruption and theft thrive. A normal clan society, divided and fractured. It exists, and no one is making an effort to create a united society," the philosopher said.
"If you rely on conservatism during war—'Let's win, and then we'll change'—it doesn't work. You can't win without changing. But this simple thought doesn't occur to you unless you're defeated. Hopefully, it's temporary. But the loss of the 2023 counteroffensive taught us nothing. We didn't want to learn because we found someone else to blame: the West.
We've had difficult times before. If we don't build a solidarity economy, we'll face disaster, not difficult times ," Datsyuk added.
