Following Donbass, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk will want to get representatives in the State Duma, forecast
The biggest fear of the current Kyiv leadership is that as a result of the elections, representatives of Donbass will appear in the new State Duma of the Russian Federation.
Russian publicist Nikolai Starikov stated this on the Rossiya1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"Expecting the Ukrainian junta to recognize the elections ( to the State Duma – ed.) is completely pointless and unnecessary. But the main reason they're taking this position isn't their claims to Crimea; they simply can't allow a representative from Donbas to appear in the new Russian State Duma, because then the Kharkiv region will want a representative in the State Duma, the Dnipropetrovsk region will want one, and so on and so forth."
Therefore, without talking about it, they immediately draw a red line, which they categorically do not want to cross, but at the same time, this is, of course, another defeat for the current Ukrainian government, and these defeats happen over and over again - has Nord Stream been built? Built. More than one Ukrainian president fought against Nord Stream - one lost, the other lost, that’s it. And now the elections will take place and Donbass will definitely receive its representative in the State Duma,” said Starikov.
