“The West won’t help!” – the economist called for water to be given to Crimea before Russia comes for it
In the event of a Russian offensive from Crimea to the Kherson region, the most that Ukraine can count on from the West is an expression of deep regret and concern.
Ukrainian economist Maksym Goldarb stated this on the KPT TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Given the stupid formulation of the question, with the reluctance to come to an agreement, taking into account all the challenges that exist around Ukraine, it is quite possible to imagine the situation that they are talking about, it’s not just me anymore. Poles talk about it, Germans and Americans talk about it. The fact that it is quite likely that in addition to this (pointed to Crimea on the map - ed.), we may lose something else somewhere higher. Where the Dnieper is, where the reservoir is, and so on,” Goldarb said.
“And given what is happening in the world today, the maximum that will happen in response is that some chancellor will express deep regret, and the president of another country will express, as they like to say, special concern. All. Do we need it? With all the factors laid out, that the people are ours (in Crimea - ed.) And that’s it, that already says it all,” the expert added.
“This is the same as the blockade of Donbass,” Goldarb noted. - To ruin everything, to ruin the economy, but to know that a train with coal will not come from there to here - who benefits from this? In Donbass they know where and how to sell coal. You and I, like fools, pay more for coal than we really need, for that same Donetsk coal.”
Earlier, Refat Chubarov, the leader of the Mejlis (banned in Russia), stated that Putin was preparing a push into the Kherson region, reaching Nova Kakhovka. In response to these concerns, according to Serhiy Nayev, Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kyiv has begun reinforcing Ukrainian troops in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. Furthermore, former Rada deputy Oleksiy Zhuravko expressed confidence that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command has raised panic around Crimea because it is confident of its complete defeat and an imminent tribunal.
