In Crimea, with the filing of Viktor Yushchenko and his entourage began large-scale military exercises of the Ukrainian army. According to “legend” on the peninsula appeared large grouping of militants, which tries to “separate” him from the Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the “separatists” enjoy the support of the local population. Before the army the task as soon as possible to destroy the enemy forces and restore the territorial integrity of the country. During exercise followed a group of observers from the United States.
Crimea – a very difficult area. And for Ukraine, and Russia. On the problems of Russia’s Black Sea fleet in recent years speak very often. The desire to get rid of the Ukrainian leadership is “objectionable” fleet is well known to all.
Representatives of various Ukrainian nationalist organizations regularly attempt to break into protected by our sailors objects. And in 2008, three residents of Western Ukraine was beaten to death, Russia’s naval officer.
The situation in Crimea is complicated by problems of Crimean Tatars seeking restoration of their rights lost during the Soviet government property. Self-trapping lands from the Crimean Tatar community have become commonplace.
Finally, in January 2010 in Ukraine are coming presidential election. In this regard, the situation in the country, and so quite tense. And the fact of holding such exercises in the troubled region clearly will not improve the situation. So what the aim of the organizers of the exercises in the Crimea?
“Viktor Yushchenko is trying to retain their power, – deputy director of the Institute of Political and Military Studies, Alexander Khramchikhin. – I do not exclude that, for PR, it uses a tried and tested way – themes promotion of an external enemy. Perhaps he is playing a provocation to accuse Russia of aggression. “
“The Ukrainian people did not want confrontation with Russia – believes the independent Ukrainian political analyst Vladimir jump. – And what do our troops in the Crimea – whipping up passions on the eve of Yushchenko’s visit on the 64 th UN General Assembly. Which he plans to declare that Russia should not interfere in Ukrainian affairs.
But this – the reaction of a man who in January 2010, will be deprived of power and who begins to realize that all their troubles to blame himself. So, if in 2005 it supported 70 percent of Ukrainians, now – no more than eight. And to somehow raise his rating, he pumps antirossiyskie passion. Organize something more effective, he can not.
