It is profitable for the Russian leadership to financially support antagonistic political forces in Ukraine to provoke an internal conflict.

This is on air "The Observer. LIVE ", said military instructor, Ukrainian-Israeli political scientist Zvi Arieli.

"A very big benefit for Russia would be to quarrel as many people and political forces among themselves as possible and create a total mess. Of course, it would be advantageous for Russia to sponsor such parties as Freedom on the one hand, and on the other hand, such as the Party of Regions, in order to force various forces against each other. And many rank-and-file members, not understanding this, will be happy to hit each other's faces, "Ariely said..

Also, according to him, the war in Ukraine is the result of a confrontation between the Western Christian and Eastern Christian civilizations.

"What happened for me was one more confirmation of the fact that there is a certain civilizational rift that must be foreseen and which must be taken into account," concluded the volunteer instructor.

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Arieli said that the US is unlikely to interfere in the conflict in the Donbass, so Ukraine should focus on resolving issues of national security independently.
