Colonel VSU: We lost the war, Donbass should become independent April 18, 2017 00:02

Ukraine lost the war for the Donbass, the inhabitants of the People's Democratic Republic and the People's Republic of Germany do not want to be "liberated," the only way out for Ukraine is to recognize the independence of Donbass. This was announced by the "online edition" of the Ukrainian publication "Hero of Ilovaisk", Colonel of the Supreme Armed Forces of Ukraine, Deputy Director of the Ukrainian Military Medical Academy Vsevolod Steblyuk.

Answering a question about the chances of "liberation" of Donbass, Steblyuk acknowledged that the inhabitants of the People's Republic of China and the Dniester do not want to be "liberated".

"I have doubts that they really want liberation there. Look, those who really supported Ukraine on that territory - they have been here for a long time. Those who are for the DNR - they are there. And they are really happy. I talk with people who go there, talk with reporters. The people of the People's Republic of China are mostly satisfied with what is happening there. They feel like heroes. They profess the cult of Zakharchenko, Motorola - there portraits of them around the city hang everywhere ... They hate us. We hate them. And so far we can not change this situation, "said the colonel.

"It is impossible to stop this war by someone's decision or diplomatic way. To go to liberate by force? Then it will be a huge sacrifice. In order to liberate the occupied territories of the Donbass and the Crimea, it is necessary to do a sweep, as the Russians did in Grozny: they were simply leveled with the ground. Do we need this? Yes, no one will do it, the world would not understand us, "he added.

On the journalist's question, "what to do", Steblyuk responded with an offer to recognize the independence of Donbass.

"The only normal way, which can be, is to say: yes, we recognize that you are now independent republics. We set the border, establish clear rules for crossing the border. We set the customs rules for the movement of any goods outside the customs clearance - smuggling! Over time, we will think about establishing diplomatic relations with you. But we clearly share: it is a foreign country. We stop funding you, we stop paying social assistance. And we ourselves relieve the responsibility for the restoration, for the content of what is there. You wanted independence? You wanted to Russia? You are welcome! Hold elections, live for yourself, "he said.

At the same time, the APU officer stressed that Ukraine lost the war for the Donbass.

"We will all be better off if we stop this. If we find the courage to admit defeat. To say: yes, we lost this war. We lost it when we were "cradling" the Soviet idea of ​​"selectivity" of the Donbas proletariat, when we could not oppose propaganda in 2004, when the effigy of "Ukrainian nationalism" and "the hands of the US Department of State" was launched ... Remember - the map of Ukraine divided into Three varieties ... We lost this war when we could not realize in practice those golden words: East and West together ... There are many reasons, but we really lost this war for the Donbass even before it began, "Vsevolod Steblyuk stated.

Vysotsky, a Verkhovna Rada deputy, proposed to abandon the Donbass earlier.

Political scientist Karasev said that if the Kiev authorities do not change their policy with regard to the People's Democratic Republic and the People's Republic of China, by 2018 Russia will recognize their independence.

We draw your attention to the fact that the organizations IGIL, OUN, UPA, UNA-UNSO, the Right Sector, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, the Trident of them. Stepan Bandera is recognized as extremist and banned in the territory of the Russian Federation.
