Rise up like it has when when im starting to wonder when its going to get to the point when the people say no we dont want another made because its basically what the neo i guess called the nazis yes you can thats basically what theyre calling for there apparently there are the reports that theres a threat and possible how did we get to this point because he you have to ask basic questions put to shame who came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because theres a fringe group out there thats trying to call the shots. Last night. In february 2014 demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and the absence of any understanding of the concept of rule of law and that has persisted from then on there is lip service for the terms but no deep commitment or understanding of it i would take slightly different tack with respect to the right wing neo nazi element in ukrainian politics it exists it has an outsized influence but i dont think it is really the thing that is preventing change right now i think the thing. That is preventing change in ukraine is the v. Weakness of the city and ski specifically driven by his need to feel loved he wants to be loved by everyone thats but thats not ok thats a personal agenda but thats not a political agenda here exactly my point my point so there is no political agenda my point is what i brought up because he did visibly change ok and now we have we have a lot of mixed language ok i mean he he wants peace with russia he wants some kind of resolution with the donbass he has to Pay Lip Service to you to crimea though its very i think everyone knows thats unrealistic we paid lip service to it and you know and then you have his western backers that want him to start making decisions to resolve this conflict but he cant hes paralyzed is it him or as weve already heard it its the institutions that are well i think the main problem is this misunderstanding you know the west misunderstood zillions of these big tree threw reasons for the answer is a big tree where it was the fact that people were tired of the war of course but also this this division in Ukrainian Society that petrol described very well in his articles in fact ukraine is divided between the west which wants to join the European Union and nato and the east which did not change much just by changing the narrative all of that western media if you you know the western media just forgets what do rule 56 years ago look at their articles they confirmed them that the east of ukraine traditionally vaults for a different candidate than that when you look over their president they want they dont want to be a part of russia i mean. Some of the eastern regions but they definitely asked professor petro wrote this year they definitely dont want to be a part of a country. Hostile to russia and the west just doesnt want to understand it instead they took to dance again someone young again someone who vote against putin is really terrified of who should be terrified because the russians will be jealous. In that wonderful man and they will topple putin you know what what about the oligarchs with. Your head im going to talk about corruption here but its very very interesting because i know you follow media very closely isnt it really interesting that the whole ukraine narrative in western media starts in 2016 nobody wants to go back to the 1014 years old its as if it didnt even happen exactly and well i thought i personally think that whats happening now is something that is understated nobody talks about it in the media is that all of darks are really calling the shots in ukraine i dont know how much it has to do with the institutional weakness i am sure that thats a big part of it but they tend to wield a tremendous amount of power that is excessive to what they should have compared to like the power of the people the vote i dont understand how this could possibly happen and it makes me wonder why zelinsky when he came into power he didnt say ok were going to are going to clean house were going to lay down the law we have a mandate from the people to clean up and were going to stop this funding of the for example the taliban which is i dont understand why theyre down there i dont know if theyre actually integrated into the. You know all of the. Interesting things you want to go right. Well. Robert mentioned 3 things that contribute to the mainstays of power all of. The executive which now is the executive in the legislative branch together. On president power and then there are the institutions of government which exist to surround the deep state. I dont know if i want to go ok. I dont want to have the army of them the problem is that the institutions are we have always been weak and this goes back to even before ukraines independence theres never been strong institutions in the sense of being independent in ukraine. Oligarchy. No then this has been played off by the divisions between east and west of the alternating of power in the Political Branches but now we have this Political Branch but we dont have a real leader we dont have a leader because the person and his party dont stand for anything people voted for them not because of anything that they promised or what they said there was no agenda there was no history they promised to bring some peace and everyone who promised you want everybody promises it was an anti push and go broke it with this kind of my question i have is with the last one but if thats what the people want is peace why arent these leaders why is a list you know its a weak institutions in that room we can solution will be executive. Leaves the oligarchy to play but the oligarchy are a bunch of stray cats they pull in every direction that they can and it appears from the outside that certain oligarchy have certain levers and certain agendas which are not governmental agendas their personal agendas i dont probably say that Certain Companies and individuals the problem with that are sure and it was he was the lead our little dark but that at least offered some direction to the country if not structure and what we have now is the absence of an executive and the oligarchs are rife and at play right now so what do you mean democracy for doing well i think they have to basically of what we see is completely contrary to all the western narrative because they promised in 2014 that this is the new ukraine there were the same words used which are they using now fortunately so great you know he was brought to power by these poor people evolution in which by the way 38 policemen were killed and 5 government buildings burned down some pension together with people inside them this was not support that was stressed in the western media but there was thing that happened in 2014 professor rightly describe it is articles basically what could be in ukraine before 2014 it was usually use the symbol at donkey to sex you know one sack wants to go west the other segments to go east that connection between them is very narrow you know and this is the reason why kuchma and you know which never said yes or no to russia or to the European Union because the moment once they say yes we go west the east was awful and sorry and what happened in february 2014 was that they destroyed the words destroyed this connection the sec which was supposed to go to the west when. To the west and even if they had a civil war this civil war was not the result of russian intervention or you know everybody and they destroy the west destroy the bottom entry do more kristie which prevent it these contradiction between east and west from going into developing into a civil war but even one would make the argument now is with it because i dont think that we want to see it done best whatever term you want to use will ever be have a meaningful role again in ukraine theyre going to have to fudge it here was crimea is gone so if we take the analogy of the balance it is forever in one direction right now to the west but if what does it mean to be part of the west we still have this issue in other places like this where its very right wing here professor before going to break. Where will this continued paralysis lete i think that in the not to distant future were not going to see a new my but were going to see probably a general rejection by the ukrainian voters of political 40 generally chaos in the country and quite possibly a rise in anti western sentiment by those who currently thats what im seeing well and were going to continue with after our short break were going to go to a short break and after that to a break well continue our discussion of some real news day. When i was so wrong. Just dont. Let me. Get to seem. To stay active. And engaged equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president im sure. Some will want to be. Actually going to be cross with a white woman for 3 of them or cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of our. Question. Tonight is financial survival john today was all about Money Laundering 1st to visit this campus into 3 different. Oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the Cayman Islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk received a softer give me a call and say hey im ready to do some serious Money Laundering ok lets see how we did while weve got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacey jewelry and how about. A luxury item bill again for max you know what Money Laundering is highly illegal. Much kaiser of course. Media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being. Direct. What is true whats his face. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or a mate in the shallows. Welcome back to crossfire all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle to remind you were discussing some real news. It was go back to the good professor. You said right before the break something quite fascinating about the future instability of ukraine considering the status quo elaborate more. Well right now as has been mentioned i think theres a dichotomy between those who youre in to see a western. Western oriented ukraine and those who i wouldnt call it a pro russian ukraine i would say a truly independent ukraine having an autonomous its own vision of its own Foreign Policy and you call that i mean theres we have to get away from this false dichotomy. But these a pro western forces have a very tenuous relationship with the west because. Its all about what is the west doing for ukraine which is at the forefront at the the ball work of and he russian. And anti russian policy to the extent that the west and i think its clear is not going to support that kind of long term anti what anti Russian Initiative these forces in western ukraine are going to be disillusioned with the west and one already sees this in. The statements of current members of parliament for example that maybe we should rename the party servant of the people which is their party into servant of the i. M. F. Because the i. M. F. Really has us by the throat and is never going to let go and this is just one example of the of the true attitude of the west toward the would be but you know we would have predict we predicted this long ago because you know do be careful what you wish for ok what about the servant of the United States i mean our state department has since i believe since 1901 through usaid from 1900 to 2014 i believe 5000000000. 00 going to. Go ahead well basically its interesting about 5000000000. 00 from the United States there are several 100. 8500000000. 00 and you can 817000000000. 00 for all of that you were going to go union and i didnt and the professor made this estimate synergy 1000000000. 00 you bring to russia in various forms of debt you know. That but what happens i agree with a professor of that theres going to be instability because basically people who elected you because they wanted peace with russia he keeps boasting i broadly dont think is the thing i mean that and corruption is very. Yes but now he says that we are basically not going to feel the means could means that what is just a message there is not what we wish for 2nd so thats not going to be resolved any time so that was but that was the point of reference of respectable if you like the mints accords you know everyone who is doing well or not doing it was always the point of reference but where do we go from there because its very key people in the east you know all the people there are patient for peace you know they want peace they dont understand all the intricacies actually the story with the music of course is very simple they presuppose a kind of told me for the east in return for the establishment of ukraine and control over the border the problem is that the ukrainian authorities are not going to give this autonomy they are not and m. S. D. They are not given special status they continue the economic blockade of these regions well the other interesting were going to see them very very good to the city of course is going to do something very unpopular you know at least the land reform which which allows private ownership of the land sale for lent including its only to organise that is deeply unpopular in Ukrainian Society the United States have been pushing for this for a long time but even did not dare to make these very unpopular. So in this situation i agree with the professor who wrote a few years ago 2 thirds of the boss residence servant in early may in 2014 c. They regarded that my down as an almost all overthrow of the government organized by their position with this system for the best and of quote that was in 2014 i dont think it changed because what weve seen during these years could. Push for more conflict and i think when you push for a lot of other things in the you know in the defense theory we could talk without there being a liar you know that he was politically destroyed and thats a moment of supreme justice because what he did in ukraine will stable. And know if he is removed for help in Rudy Giuliani you know. What i dont want to go he didnt run to the ukraine gay guy id be really interested to know professor what do in ukraine does the media talk much about the news that joe biden its all over the news now actually lay down the threat to the ukrainian prosecutor to be fired for the you create for the key have to fire the chief prosecutor who is investigating joe biden son hunter the truth that was and is that it talked about that was described shortly after occur yes in other words i think was january 1018 at the council on Foreign Relations it was picked up in the ukrainian news but one of the things that is simply taken for granted in the ukrainian media environment is that the west calls the shots so why is this surprising ok who surprised by this it didnt have any traction in the American Media at the time because they couldnt link it to trump but now. Now its coming to you for trying to link it to trump but it was clearly this was political blackmail at the highest level and by the american Vice President he says it was all about how the american taxpayer but the coincidence with his sons activities in Eastern Ukraine at the same time makes. The coincidence of speeches. I think its just amazing how far the american narrative is removed from reality you know they are arguing about you know. There are and whats happened in ukraine was the Vice President of a different country seeking in your president s seat or that the prosecutor general to be dismissed in 6 hours. If the russian officials get it you know they will say the drug use is the root in all ukraine then the 2nd story what the eavesdropped blame for not saying good weapons on time to ukraine do you understand how this is perceived in ukraine or russia imagine there is a war between canadian saying americans you know and a certain country is late sending weapons to canadians helping them kill more americans and then protest and you know indignation is not to deny the states was in that country how dare you not send these well again you know i mean this is my critique of american Foreign Policy countries that they meddle in are not allowed agency ok ok you know i want to go back to green we can do you know the ukraine gate is going to last a long time here is who buyers of buyers remorse from. 5 years on. On whose part of the ukraine has been general and general well. The surveys show a significant part of the population to be disappointed with the results of. The by them of supposed to bring a new vitality and you quality to the political life but not little has changed indeed corruption by all accounts has gotten worse over the last 5 years right and the country has become impoverished one of the things about the i. M. F. Deal which is has been stated often but keeps being repeated now in the press and its very important to bear in mind because the Ukrainian Government has just adopted a very ambitious Economic Program for the next 5 years projecting 40 Percent Economic Growth roughly 7 percent annually if ukraine in g. D. P. Growth grows at 4 percent or above then it will have to pay 40 percent of profits to. The i. M. F. Well to the to the people that have extended it credit which as one economist wrote on this wrote very recently makes it simply unprofitable to have high rates of Economic Growth in ukraine so i also would have to remember that this is a reconstruction growth so that g. D. P. Felt a cent in 2015 right after the mind up even if we exclude craney from the statistics it fell further 6. 4 percent next year so what were seeing now the ukrainians are starting to leave somewhat like what they leave behind a young age may be. May be considered to be a golden age after all these years but the last thing that the mind and did was to destroy these ballots to destroy democracy in ukraine region was one of the things that you were going to want and i want to end on this interview the guys can jump in here i mean giving the done special status is impossible if they agree to it because other regions of the country will the same and you going to be putting the the constituent nature of ukraine at stake in this is thats between the rock and a hard place here you give one set something others may want the same. With so theres a debate now one side is using the term autonomy the other side the government is using the term radical decentralisation its not clear what the difference is although there probably is a significant difference and one should probably stick to the actual meaning of autonomy because what the boss actually wants and what i think many regions of ukraine would not object to especially in the western ukraine would be some form of greater autonomy verging on federalism but the problem is you cannot use the. In ukrainian politics. Well thats what the professor all of a few years ago ukrainian nationalists have so little quote for them to see in their ability to we know with a population that they see local cultural autonomy as a direct. Thats exactly true because you dont even. Really want people to be. Like kids books for example i dont know that theyre going to the point. That choice is between culture and ukraine something that. Russia have been striving for recognizing that this is a dual language russian and ukrainian and many other languages and more not least think ukraine you know nationalistic. And the west has been pushing for that you know during the last 5 years but the point is that these last these very division because if you want to impose the same identity you. May need to bring people down to the scene here and youre you know you have excellent reading skills thats not really going thats all the time we have here many thankfully get here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here are to remember.
