MOSCOW, September 10.
/TASS/. Ukraine’s authorities may carry out a massive mop-up operation in the
self-proclaimed Donbass republics causing much more deaths than in 2014,
Director of the Russian Center for Current Policy Alexei Chesnakov told TASS on
Monday.
"I would like to
be wrong, but for some reason I’m sure that at some moment Kiev will make a
decision to launch a massive invasion of the territory controlled by people’s
militias. First, that’s because sponsors from overseas have been actively
inciting Ukraine into such steps. Second, there are enough mad people in
Ukraine," Chesnakov noted.
According to the
expert, the instigators have been calling to take cues from Croatia, which took
control of the rebellious Serbian regions by force. "By the way, during
those events the Croatians killed both Serbs and also the UN contingent
personnel. If this happens [in Donbass] there will be more much more deaths
than during the 2014 Ukrainian war. But the final decision "in the
Croatian way" is unlikely to happen," the expert stressed.
Like in 2014, Ukraine
will be forced to peace and "they will again rub its nose into the Minsk
agreements." "This will be good for Kiev. The events may develop
further leading to the recognition of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the
Lugansk People’s Republic by Russia like this was with South Ossetia and
Abkhazia after the risky undertaking by [former Georgian President Mikhail]
Saakashvili," he said.
