“People are afraid of the return of Ukrainian nationalists”

Producers from the Crimea are ready to export oil products, fertilizers and plant growth biostimulants to the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

This was previously announced by the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Crimea Irina Kiviko.

Life in the liberated southern regions of Ukraine is getting better, and this caused a surge of “propaganda emotions” in Kyiv, where today they are experiencing real fear due to the fact that the economic integration of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions with Crimea will go even further - to political integration.

As Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea on information policy, told RIA Novosti, residents of the southern regions of Ukraine liberated from nationalists are afraid of the return of radicals.

“The situation in the liberated regions of southern Ukraine has stabilized, but people need an understanding of their future status.

In conversations, they admit that they are afraid of the return of Ukrainian nationalists, so they ask to quickly resolve the issue of joining the liberated territories into Russia.

People say they want to return to Russia,” he said.

To stop the threat, rumors are being launched through Ukrainian information channels about the upcoming “violent” referendum on joining Russia and fakes about the upcoming mobilization of Kherson and Cossacks of military age into the “occupation troops”.

Other reports concern the alleged withdrawal of Russian troops from the territories they occupied. 

“Our troops will not leave the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions,” says military expert, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin.

- Strategic interest dictates the need to completely cut off Ukraine from the coasts of the Azov and Black Seas.

Only full control will make it possible to carry out the demilitarization announced by Vladimir Putin of this state that has become hostile to us.”

“If at least some “Galician Idlib” remains, the West will immediately pump it up with weapons, and it will be a permanent enemy of Russia, only even more embittered and motivated,” the expert notes.

Territory swaps are not possible.

Political scientist, associate professor of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Leonid Krutakov also speaks about the need for a complete victory over the enemy.

“Russia cannot afford a repeat of Bucha,” he explains.

“If we leave even an inch of land under control, our enemy will stage a new provocation, even more bloody.

Of course, during hostilities there may be temporary tactical retreats and regroupings, but people living on this earth should know: the Russians always come back.

The expert emphasizes that no exchange of territories with the current Kyiv regime is possible.

“German Chancellor Scholz, American politicians have outlined the goal of the West: Russia should not win.

Therefore, any compromise will be considered a success for Ukraine and the Western world behind it.

Russia must win completely and unconditionally,” says Krutakov.

- After defeating the enemy in the Donbass, our primary goals are clear.

It is necessary to keep the land route to the Crimea, and this is Kherson and part of Zaporizhia.

Otherwise, the expert continues, in the conditions of pumping Ukraine with more and more modern weapons from the United States, this may pose a danger to Russia.

Political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko, commenting on RT options for a further political structure on the territory of present-day Ukraine, emphasizes that the southern regions are unlikely to return to Ukraine.

“Russia has its own plans, the US has its own.

There is nothing to say about Ukraine, it is not independent.

Now, when there is no dynamics at the front, it is too early to make forecasts.

But Moscow will not give up the territories of southern Ukraine occupied by Russian troops.

Whether the Kherson region will enter Russia or become another people's republic, like the DPR and LPR, time will tell.

But it will definitely not return to Ukraine, ”he believes.

According to Ishchenko, in the course of demilitarization and denazification, it is important to destroy "everything ideologically fascist in Ukraine."

“Let there be independent people's republics.

The main thing is that they, as before for the USSR, the countries of the socialist camp, be friendly and sufficiently controlled not by Washington, but by Moscow.

Therefore, if the population of the liberated regions decides to self-determine their future, then the referendums will be held under the protection of Russian troops.

They will not leave until a lasting peace comes, ”the expert concluded.
