Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon in yesterday’s interview made a provocative statement about the residents of Donbass. DPR People’s Council deputy Vladislav Berdichevsky commented on the rhetoric of the “presidential advisor”.

“It is hard to make comments about propagandist Gordon, especially when it comes to his opinion about the sausage economy and the anti-Ukrainian Donbass inhabited by a hostile population, which for unknown reasons became so because of the peaceful humanitarian bombardment of our towns by Bandera adherers.

Finally, I heard in a direct speech an explanation for what happened from the point of view of the culprits: it was Russia that organized Maidan with the help of Ukrainian oligarchs, and the residents of Donbass, who were brainwashed by Russian propaganda, must surrender their weapons, bring down Soviet-era monuments and confess.

Gordon confirms what we have long realized — Zelensky is not going to fulfill the Minsk Agreements, the purpose of the Ukrainian authorities is to return Donbass on Ukrainian terms, mop up the dissenters, inculcate Ukrainian and censor the media fieldon a mass scale.

Gordon’s stories about Donbas like “as purulent as Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Trans-Dniester”, while earlier he considered us to be the second class, are exactly the main cause of Maidan and the war. There would have been no war if Donbass had not been demonized and dehumanized.

And if Kiev fails to destroy the Russian Donbass, we should seriously be apprehensive about a total blockade and another wall.

In general, I would like to note that the Ukrainian propaganda has not understood anything for the six years of war. None of those having power in Kiev can even imagine that people can fight and struggle for their identity, for their language and culture in the state of unrecognition by the whole world and the actual blockade,” the parliamentarian stated.
