War and world

Enemy troops left Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. Artemovsk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka were also released. The reports from the southeast resemble the last days of the war, and everyone is free for himself, in modern language, to reconstruct what is happening and decide what he is heard at this news. Levitan's voice, for example.

The problem, however, is that during the many -month "Russian spring" in Ukraine, we were very weaned from good news. And if the legendary shooter-girkin informs us that he intends to dug in Donetsk and proceeds to “active defense”, then the paintings are drawn completely apocalyptic. Still, a millionth city, and if our famous Guderian, rejoicing over the map, starts street battles with armored vehicles there, then the expense of the dead will go for thousands. And the militants defend Lugansk, where about half a million Ukrainian citizens live. The last battle is the most difficult, yes. Cinema epic "Liberation".

Meanwhile, for the first time in these endlessly long months, hope dawn. So apocalyptic scenarios are not the most likely. There is even the idea that Putin is indeed on Mount Dugin, Glazyev and our other militarized professors, merges New Russia. That is, it implements its own plan "B", a minimum program that boils down to torment Ukraine, but the troops do not introduce and gradually recall the emitted Cossacks and their commanders. The plan, according to which Ukrainians should rejoice that they have so easily escaped: only the loss of Crimea.

There are many evidence of this.

First of all, this is a noticeable determination of the West to give Vladimir Vladimirovich the next portion of sanctions, and not in response to the invasion of Ukraine - this topic, as far as can be understood, is not even discussed with Putin. The point is that the sanctions will be imposed in the event that the Kremlin does not stop providing comprehensive support for separatists' gangs within the foreseeable time. And although Russia had its own counterarguments (“if there are sanctions, then we will go crazy and begin to release the whole of Ukraine from the Nazis”), but in the end, apparently, a simple calculation worked. Sanctions, and even a war with a neighboring country - it could even seem too expensive fun to our hawks.

In addition, Donetsk is, you know, not Slavyansk. Here, billionaire Rinat Akhmetov followed the order with his gangs, and he is hardly, with all the intricacies of his relationship with the Kremlin, he wants to share power with Strelkov’s militants. Affect with the help of peacekeeping beeps on Kyiv and Moscow is one thing, and to lose control of the small homeland and turn into Yanukovych into your Donetsk way is something completely different. Speaking against the bombing of the Donbass and for a single Ukraine, Rinat Leonidovich offers to negotiate with the Lysym line , and we guess about who he has in mind and how he relates to him. As well as about the methodology of overcoming crises inherent in this effective manager.

In the same den with terrorists, he will probably be crowded, so Girkin’s fate, if he lingers in Donetsk for a long time, may be dramatically. The authors of the traditionally bright text on the Peter and Mazepa website are even inclined to the idea that the commander in the capital of Donbass "sleep ... will have to be open eyes, because the number of people who want to drive him a screwdriver to the side ... Hundreds of professionals of this difficult craft are calculated." The colleagues know better, therefore even the idea creeps out that the evacuation of Strelkov is a matter of the next days. If he is generally in Donetsk. In Moscow, I want to believe, waited.

However, the price of victory will still be, unfortunately, high, and yesterday’s messages from Lugansk, where the militants seem to have Russian “grades” in the midst of residential quarters, testify to that. Thus, the romantic dreams of our first poet are finally refuted that the Donbass is Russian Israel. Donbass is the Russian Gaza sector, in its purest form, and Hamas terrorists send fiery greetings to the brothers in weapons, long -standing patrons. The only difference is that this conflict, as it is dreamed of in the Kremlin, will not drag on for many decades. Apparently, the problem will be resolved in the coming weeks.

At least, the tragic and encouraging reports of the last hours are almost in doubt. The enemy is knocked out of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, Ukrainian flags are fluttering over Artemovsky, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka. No, this is not a battle for Berlin, the comparison is lame, but in all liberation wars there is something jointly, general, unifying. For example, the justice of these wars, obvious to everyone except the invaders and peoples who are fired on someone else's land. This blinding and greed is a temporary phenomenon, but the invader has to pay for them for a long time and much more than those who protect their country from him.

In the end, not only soft sanctions will be retalied for Ukraine, even if it does not reach sector. By violating international laws, annexing the Crimea and provoking the civil war in the neighboring state, Putin Russia condemns itself for decades of geopolitical loneliness. This means that the main problem for humanity is now not the integration of Moscow into the civilized world, as before, but isolation. Overcoming any kind of dependence on the Russian Federation, including economic, with all its pipes and other means of blackmail. This process is long, painful for everyone, but non -staff. As liberation - from enemy troops in their hometown, from dead relations with a friend who has become an enemy, from illusions.
