Ukrainian authorities have had unsatisfactory results over the last two years, Russian Council’s International Affairs Committee chairman added
MOSCOW, February 22. /TASS/. The so-called "Revolution of Dignity" in Ukraine has completely turned into a nationalist coup over the last two years, Russian Federation Council’s International Affairs Committee chairman Konstantin Kosachev said on Monday.
"It has been precisely two years today since the
‘Revolution of Dignity’ in Ukraine (if it ever was that) completely descended
into a genre of national coup," Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page.
Events on Ukrainian Maidan (Independence Square in
central Kiev where mass protests started) in February 2013 "have been
painted from the start and are still being painted as a rebellion of people
striving for freedom against corrupt power," the lawmaker said. "Over
the last two years, a comprehensive answer was given - this was a trivial
redistribution of power, its forced redistribution from one political force to
another, more representative and thus more high-handed but absolutely not
representing the interests of all people," he added. "There was
nothing close in this to supremacy of law, democracy, human rights about which
external sponsors of Maidan cared so much about in their words," Kosachev
noted.
He added that Ukrainian authorities have had
unsatisfactory results over the last two years. "If changes happened, the
did so only in Ukraine’s foreign policy course which has become treacherously
anti-Russian and humiliatingly pro-Western," Kosachev said. "We can
‘congratulate’ Kiev’s external sponsors as they managed to solve their
geopolitical tasks excellently in two years. We should sympathize with the
people of Ukraine as it was at their expense that these tasks that have nothing
to do with the county’s national interests, were solved," he concluded.
