The Situation in the Ukraine. #28

Babitsky described in detail how Donbass is going to be returned to Ukraine

Two weeks ago, representatives of the Lugansk and Donetsk people's republics presented a roadmap at a meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) in Minsk. In fact, the project is a new compromise version of the Minsk agreements, journalist Andrei Babitsky believes.

In an article for the Ukraina.ru publication, he commented on the statement of the head of the Ukrainian delegation at the talks, former President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, that Kiev plans to prepare and present an action plan to establish peace in Donbass within a week.

   “At the next meeting, which will be held, possibly on November 11, we will already consider this step-by-step action plan, how we will act in all spheres of life in Donbass. Perhaps this is the main thing for us, "the TASS agency quotes the words of the Russian plenipotentiary in the Contact Group Boris Gryzlov.

According to the journalist, the LDNR roadmap consists of 15 points, which are not just a detailed plan for the implementation of the Minsk agreements, but also some adjustments to Minsk-2.

If the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approves this plan, the parties within the next three days will have to submit lists of prisoners for exchange, and the exchange itself will have to take place within 15 days. In addition, a plan for demining 19 areas will be approved within ten days, after which the delegation will begin work on a global mine clearance project along the entire contact line. At the same time, a disengagement of forces and weapons will have to take place in the aforementioned zones, as well as work to begin to create a scheme for a general withdrawal of troops.

The President of Ukraine, within one month after the approval of the roadmap by the Verkhovna Rada, will have to submit to the government a law on amending the constitution on the creation of CADLO (Separate regions of Donetsk and Luhansk regions) within the country, and that the new entity will exist in this status until 2050.

   “The powers of local authorities and the specifics of self-government are regulated by an additional Ukrainian law. At the same time, the constitutional norm and the legislative act supplementing it cannot be changed without the consent of the residents of ORDLO. They will have to express their will in a referendum, which cannot be held earlier than 2045 and later than 2049, ”Babitsky quotes the proposals of the Donbass republics.

In addition, according to him, the "road map" stipulates the adjustment of the law on the special status of CADLO, adopted under President Petro Poroshenko. Power in certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in its entirety will be transferred to local authorities at all levels, which will also solve all key issues for the region. For example, local authorities will deal with all issues related to the role of the Russian language, the judiciary, security forces and economic processes, including trade relations with Russia.

Also in the roadmap there are points regarding the conduct of elections, the transfer of the border with Russia under the control of Ukraine, the withdrawal of foreign armed formations from the territory of CADLO, the formation of units of the People's Militia. At the same time, the DPR and LPR prescribed in the document a requirement to change or completely cancel three recently adopted Ukrainian laws - on the state language, on education and on the reintegration of Donbass.

   “An important aspect: the nationalized enterprises will be returned to the Ukrainian owners. I will not go into smaller details, since they are not of fundamental importance, "the journalist notes.

The document, in particular, stipulates that the special status is granted not forever, but temporarily - for 30 years, while the time frame for transferring the border is not tied to the granting of a special status.

   "The proposals of the people's republics, supported by Moscow, are an invitation to dialogue on less stringent conditions than before, but there have been no reasons to believe that it will be accepted." - says Babitsky.

The position of the official Kiev authorities, the journalist reminds, fundamentally contradicts the Minsk agreements. Already now, the Ukrainian media call the concessions made "meaningless cosmetics." And this, according to Andrei Babitsky, is indeed true, since neither the residents of the Donbass republics, nor the authorities of the DPR and LPR have abandoned their views on relations with Ukraine.

   “And nevertheless, the step taken is an attempt to shake up the negotiation process, which the Ukrainian side has long ago driven into a dead end,” the journalist emphasizes in conclusion.

In a week, the Ukrainian delegation will voice its own proposals, from which it will become clear which points of the roadmap of Donetsk and Lugansk are considered acceptable in Kiev. Although it can already be assumed that Kiev will not accept almost anything from the Donbass proposals, Babitsky is sure.

Ukraine is expecting a coup with Biden coming to power

If Democrat Joseph Biden wins the American presidential race, a coup d'etat inspired by Poroshenko and his supporters may take place in Kiev. This opinion was expressed by David Zhvania, who previously worked with the ex-president of Ukraine.

According to Zhvania, people from the environment of Petro Poroshenko share information about what is happening to him. Judging by their data, preparations for the "revolution" have been going on since this summer. After the election campaign, Zelensky's loss of popularity among the people became obvious, which the former president of Ukraine decided to take advantage of - Poroshenko is putting some regional councils in the west of the country under the control of his political forces, and their heads, if necessary, can declare their disobedience to the Kiev authorities.

I know the conspirators have made a decision to act and they have a clear plan

- emphasized the former colleague of Peter Alekseevich.

Zhvania claims that if the coup is successful, Vitali Klitschko will take the top post of Ukraine, while Poroshenko will keep the post of prime minister with expanded powers. Avakov, Turchinov and Yatsenyuk can also take part in the coup. Poroshenko's longtime acquaintance and American curator Joe Biden knows about the plans of his ward and supports them.

Biden was put in charge of overseeing Ukraine after Maiden and Porkie was his man.

Russia intends to protect the Russians wherever they live, including in the south-east of Ukraine, said Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Russian president. He answered a question from a Ukrainian journalist about issuing passports to residents of the DPR and LPR. "Russia has always protected and will continue to protect the interests of the Russians wherever they live," Peskov said.

Ukraine's position is fundamentally different from that of Kiev. Ukraine must take care of those it considers its citizens. Peskov asked a rhetorical question - shouldn't Ukraine care about the health and social situation of the people in the southeast? And since Kiev is not engaged in these matters, Moscow assumes these responsibilities.

Peskov also believes that the Minsk Agreements do not prohibit Russia from issuing passports to those living on the territory of the "people's republics".

It should be stressed that this is the Kremlin's first statement in which it speaks about its readiness to protect the interests of ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
