“I guess that’s the beginning of the end of the regime in Kiev, because he has other methods to restore peace in the South-East just yet. He could not apply, none of the Minsk agreement are not satisfied, he even can not carry out, having such a Parliament and such an environment in the form of “Right sector” (a terrorist organization banned in Russia — approx. “Of the tape.ru”), “—said the Senator.
Dzhabarov believes that the Ukrainian President agreed to this provocation, to win over a new US President Donald trump and regain the loyalty of the authorities of France and Germany, but miscalculated. “Pretty everyone is tired of the Kiev regime, which for Europe puts all new and new challenges, constantly deteriorating because of this attitude of Europeans to Russia,” he added.
