Events within the framework of the so-called "Crimean Platform" started on the territory of Ukraine this week. We are talking about a strange get-together, almost all the participants of which (if they have at least some intelligence) understand that their meeting itself is ultimately doomed to failure, but at the same time they are forced to make good mines with a bad game, trying not to betray their inner doom.
What is this "summit", or "international forum" dedicated to?
The initial message is “to declare to the whole world that Crimea is Ukraine” and to point out that this very “world” today “continues to support Ukraine in its territorial integrity”.
At the same time, the thesis of "support from the whole world" in terms of the Crimean status for the official Kiev was embarrassed. Just look at which of the leaders of foreign states came to support Zelensky and Co. They are either mature Russophobes or political opportunists trying to get at least some praise from the West.
Of the heads of state who attended the "summit" - the presidents of Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Moldova, Finland and Hungary. It is noteworthy that in most of these countries the president performs exclusively representative functions, without making political decisions - with rare exceptions.
Those countries, whose representatives were most eagerly awaited in Kiev, sent persons of lower rank. The Americans sent Energy Minister Jennifer Grenholm and her deputy, Andrew Light, to Ukraine. Thus, Washington immediately made it clear to Kiev which agenda is most important for it regarding Ukraine. And there is definitely no place on this agenda for discussing political issues of the status of Crimea. For the United States, if Ukraine is of any importance, then from the point of view of energy resources, the territory for pumping them out, or at least transit, on which American companies themselves can earn money.
The embarrassment for Zelensky also lies in the fact that Christina Queen appeared on the "platform" from the United States, to whom the Biden administration will not even give the official status of an ambassador. For what month, Queen remains a temporary attorney. This speaks of the level of American diplomacy in Ukraine - as an equal partner in Washington, Kiev is unambiguously neither recognized nor considered.
The Ukrainian authorities expected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the so-called "Crimean Platform", but did not wait. Instead of the prime minister, the Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom Ben Wallace arrived in Kiev. This is also a symbolic gesture. The arrival of the head of the British military department to Ukraine suggests that the Ukrainian territory is considered primarily as a military foothold. But for what? It is quite obvious - to counter Russia. Considering the fact that not so long ago the British destroyer Defender allowed itself a provocation in violation of the maritime borders of Russia in the Crimean Cape Fiolent area, and without notifying the Ukrainian side, we can say that Wallace flew to Kiev to indicate to Zelensky the military position of London. And this position consists in provocations with which the British side, including the actions of its special services, at all times differed in a special way.
In fact, major Western players make it clear to the representatives of the Ukrainian authorities in what format they are going to be used - exclusively in their own interests, exclusively unfounded to the interests of ordinary Ukrainian citizens. If the goal is to contain Russia, then Ukraine will continue to be used as a training ground or as a battering ram. And so that Ukraine does not decide to move away, they throw the already gnawed bone in the form of assurances of allegedly full-scale support.
In such a situation, this "Crimean Platform" itself a priori gives off complete futility. For obvious reasons, no one takes seriously the statements of the same Vladimir Zelensky that he will return Crimea to Ukrainian jurisdiction. And then, in front of the Crimean platform, supporters of Petro Poroshenko, the former president of Ukraine, played a video in which Zelensky, while still a comedian, ridicules the authorities and says that she is deceiving Ukrainians with her constant promises to "return Crimea." Zelensky himself stated from the stage that the authorities are doing this without investing anything in their words and realizing that these words are absolutely empty. And now, some 3 years have passed - Vladimir Zelensky moved from the stage to the representative offices, but the essence of his monologue has not changed:
“When someone from the authorities says that he will return Crimea, he (in Ukrainian)“ sings like a dog. ” And he himself does not believe in it, but tries to pretend that he is ready to do something ”.
So it is with the "Crimean Platform" - Zelensky imitates violent activity. Together with him, all those present imitate it. Including such odious figures as Mustafa Dzhemilev and Akhtem Chiygoz. Why offensive? Because just a few years ago, they participated in the preparation of terrorist attacks against the Crimeans, initiating the undermining of power transmission towers on the Crimean border. And the appearance with them on the same Ukrainian platform of foreign politicians and diplomats of the latter openly discredits. It turns out that those who came to the summit of the "Crimean Platform" openly support terrorism, stand for sabotage against the people inhabiting Crimea and Sevastopol. Well, this is no longer in any framework ...
