Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that if Ukraine introduces a visa regime, we will be forced to respond in a mirror manner. "We do not conduct any black anti-Ukrainian lists, except for isolated cases. But if there is a visa regime, of course, we will respond with a visa regime, "the minister promised, answering the question about the connection between the problems of labor migrants and the foreign policy of the states from which they come to us. At the same time, I understand that the Russian leadership has taken a course toward a kind of separation - the separation of the current Ukrainian government from the population.
At the same time, everyone understands that Kiev is not free to choose solutions, but entirely depends on the American colonial administration. This is not only not hidden in Ukraine, but even with pride is sometimes emphasized with pride. In fact, all political, economic or military measures that seem to us unreasonable or harmful, in fact, have their own logic, if we look at what is happening from overseas.
Thus, the struggle did not unfold at all between Kiev and Moscow, which convinced the average winner of the "revolution of hydrology", and between Moscow and Washington - for Ukraine. The opinion of the Ukrainians themselves geopolitical players is only interested in words, because it is a question of confronting superpowers. US, destroying Nenku, releasing from the corners of crazy Banderites, seek to complicate life for us, the Russians, and not at all to improve life for Ukrainians.
It would seem quite obvious that buying Russian gas in Slovakia, Hungary or Poland is not profitable. And this is not just voiced. But after all, the Americans' goal is not to save money at all. The task is different: to permanently remove Ukraine from the sphere of Russian influence. Even if due to a radical deterioration in the life of her unfortunate population.
In geopolitical games, the well-being of the natives has never been at the forefront, but only written on slogans and banners.
As a result, for two years Naftogaz has no relations with Gazprom, except for litigation in the Stockholm Arbitration Court. Nobody meets with anyone, does not negotiate, does not arrange banquets after a well-concluded contract. Communications completely destroyed.
But ties are breaking and not at such a high level as state corporations or large banks. The ban on the broadcasting of our TV channels, on the entry of artists, which, incidentally, Sergei Lavrov mentioned, is not a tyranny, as it may seem from the side. As well as the cessation of trade and production relations between medium and small Russian and Ukrainian firms, the rupture of which seems to do enormous damage to the economy of an uninhabited state.
A devastating blow to the centuries-old ties will bring an end to the work of Russian social networks, Yandex and news sites. The case came very seriously - with the involvement of special services officers who had been trained by overseas supervisors. Funds are allocated for the creation of their own social network. Yes, she will be a weak imitation of VKontakte, but she will have the opportunity to block Russian users.
Ukraine is sterilized by memory - purposefully, consistently and stubbornly. In about twenty years, if nothing changes during this time, only Russophobes will live here. South-West Russia will turn into an insurmountable barrier between Russia and Europe. This is the main goal of the United States.
Of course, people in the answer vote with their feet - the best specialists leave in different directions, the bill goes to millions. But the Americans do not need local specialists - they need obedient performers who are moderately fed, and the territory. Even if deserted. For when geopolitical problems are being solved, the considerations of humanism are only hindering.
This sluggish phase of the transformation of Ukraine into Anti-Russia has been going on for almost three years. In fact, all the worst for us and the best for America was to happen immediately after the Maidan - our naval base in Sevastopol was to become an American. When these plans were destroyed overnight, the tanks went to the Donbas - in the hope that Russia in response will introduce troops and will be stuck in a fratricidal war for a long time.
It was not possible to provoke Moscow, as it was not possible to force to change its policy with the help of economic sanctions. But managed to turn Ukraine into an enemy, which was unthinkable just a few years ago.
Not so long ago a new idea appeared in Kiev - to shift the rails to the European track. Fortunately, such work is too expensive, but there is no money. But if suddenly the European track is built, then our trains can not easily go to Ukrainian cities, as before. I suspect that international funds will sooner or later give credit for such a good cause.
Of course, Nenka will not become a European power. But it will cease to be Russian. Finally, only the pathological greed of local elites can completely separate Ukraine from Russia, which will probably plunder all allocated funds.
Therefore, the return introduction of the visa regime does not seem to me to be the most far-sighted step. Not only because such a measure will inevitably lower us to the level of Ukraine, which is simply indecent. The main thing is that American strategists are waiting for us. Similarly, they were looking forward to how the Kremlin would deploy troops to the Donbas, or maybe go further, to Kiev, to liberate Russian cities from Bandera.
Expectations did not come true - Russia preferred to wait without interfering in intra-Ukrainian affairs. But this does not mean that we are not interested in what is happening there. If we really consider Ukraine an temporarily occupied part of a single country, and this is so, then we simply can not treat it as an independent state.
Especially in a situation where our former territory is commanded by a geopolitical competitor.
Today, Kiev captured the enemy - both our common external and internal, Ukrainian. Standard steps - mirror responses to the unfriendly measures that Americans are undertaking, pulling at the strings of their puppets, are unlikely to help achieve the goal of reuniting Ukraine with their homeland.
In the end, we did not send the American diplomats last year when they sent our. And in the end - they won.
