The Ukrainian Crisis: Do the Russians Want War?

Abstract

The article reveals the author’s attitude to the problem of relations between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian movement towards Westernization, transition away from historical realities towards the utopia of unrealizable democracy, as well as a deliberate break with the Russian world. In addition, the author analyzes the leaders of the two States concerning this issue. To understand the current situation, the author believes that it is necessary, first, to comprehensively examine the events that continue to unfold around Ukraine. Judging by the French press, the observers’ comments indicate, first of all, their complete blindness or, at least, their poor eyesight. The author believes that foreign experts are in thrall to their own whims. Since they read too carefully, their vision of things is distorted. They only see a piece of paper, which they touch with their nose, and which prevents them from seeing what is happening around.
