A serious standoff may begin between Kiev and
Ukrainian extremist groups in autumn as a result of the recent
violent clashes near the Ukrainian Parliament, the Ukrainian news outlet
Vesti reported.
On Monday, the Ukrainian Parliament passed a
constitutional amendment draft proposed by President Petro Poroshenko
on decentralization. After the vote, violent clashes broke out in
front of the parliament building. They left 124 people injured and one
serviceman killed.
The radicals who staged the clashes might have been
aware that Poroshenko’s proposals are only advantageous to the West and
presume no special benefits for Donbass.
The clashes prove Ukrainian radicals want the revolution
to continue and the Ukrainian army to win the war at any costs.
However, so far the situation is rapidly getting out of control, the
article read.
"There are two options possible now – either Kiev
would manage to maintain the public order or we would have another Somalia
but in the middle of Europe. Now it is an either-or situation,"
Ukrainian political analyst Konstantin Bondarenko was quoted as saying
by Vesti.
"Either Poroshenko supporters will stage a 'night
of long knives' for radicals, or radicals will stage a ' St.
Bartholomew night' for the president," he added.
It is highly possible that a new, third Maidan
(revolution) is currently in preparation in Ukraine, especially
taking into account that winter is coming, "the favorite period
for Ukrainian revolutions," Vesti claims.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if the clashes result
in a series of political murders or the level of radicalization
reached its height. It may provoke more public unrest. The third Maidan would
be a bloodbath," Ukrainian political analyst Andrei Zolotarev was quoted
as saying by Vesti.
The structure of the current parliamentarian
coalition is practically destroyed, and the coalition itself may be ruined
by the end of the year. Experts have different opinions on when
a new parliamentary election may be held.
However, it is already clear that an "internal
opposition bloc" has formed in the parliament, including the Radical
Party and the Self Reliance Party as well as separate members
of the Fatherland Party, the article read.
