Ukraine – Crimea Secession And Western De facto Representation in Kiev Is Opportunism

March 15, 2014

The current developments in Ukraine emanating from EU response to President Viktor Yanukovych decision to decline the Association Agreement with EU and subsequently,

United States as well as EU backed coup against democratically elected government has unraveled events much to sponsors dismay and Ukrainians despair.

EU and United States organized anti-government protests since November 2013 up until removal of President Yanukovych in late February 2014 not only led to deaths and destruction of a sovereign nation but also facilitated extremism.

The unsavory emergence forging alliance with apparently pro-Nazi and fascists elements confirmed to be behind sniper and grenade attacks against police and protesters during demonstration.

The interim representatives in Kiev having driven elected members in Ukraine Parliament and President Yanukovych administration using threats and violence do not have any recognition among Ukrainians and global society.

 Aside from not respecting sovereignty, the national constitution governing democratic principles seriously violated in this instance.

Such representation tantamount to proxy rule benefitting forces with vested interests leaving Ukraine citizens beguiled of political and economic freedom.

The members in position of authority at present as opposition groups earlier defaulted in the EU brokered agreement with President Viktor Yanukovych and escalated tensions in public square to deflect attention from real motives to derail democracy in Ukraine.

Despite certain political leaderships in the United States and EU support to the illegitimate and extraneous government in Kiev, 

The lack of credibility being the defining character amongst prevalent EU and United States de facto arguably disqualifies them from the self-proclaimed title as governing body in Kiev.

Hence the hired political faction in Kiev to implement EU and United States agenda do not possess electoral mandate or consent to sign any deal with EU or United States and attempts in this regard would further clarify allegiance to foreign sources at Ukraine’s detriment constituting treasonous act.

Not to mention the subjugation of population as a result from EC, ECB and IMF viz. the Troika financial offers designed for generational indebtedness replicating EU states experience with no sign of recovery. 

The viable solution to burgeoning crises in Ukraine is to reinstate President Viktor Yanukovych government to restore law and order along with stability eliminating security concerns across the country that has prompted Crimea secession process.

Crimea in the southeastern region of Ukraine initially set up as semi-autonomous territory nonetheless binding with Ukraine constitution recently declared independence through haste political overhaul electing pro Russian premier Sergei Aksyonov and Parliament motion to hold referendum on joining the Russian Federation.

Crimea also hosting Russian naval fleet in Black Sea with treaty allowing the guest troops presence not exceeding 25,000 utilized with Russian deployment in the range of 16,000 presumably to defend Russian assets and crew including residents in the Crimean peninsula claiming Russian lineage.

The situation in Crimea unequivocally attributed to unrest in Kiev and undemocratic dismissal of President Yanukovych government sparking widespread clashes in the sensitive areas of Crimea and eastern city Donetsk.

Russia’s overture welcoming Crimean Parliamentary approval on plebiscite for union with former alluding to the latter right to exercise discretion as independent state could provide opportunity for the eastern region in Ukraine to follow suit setting precedence in deserting Ukraine amid chaos and confusion inevitably affecting neighbors peaceful existence.

Instead of subscribing to frantic efforts on Crimea, Russian and Crimean leadership skills could perhaps serve positively upon pursuing constructive course to revive Ukraine’s democracy under siege and perseverance in restoring political legitimacy via President Viktor Yanukovych headed government.

Besides slighting Ukraine’s constitutionality in Crimea’s transition, the expedited vote on amalgamation with Russia lay overcast on Russian President Vladimir Putin assurance to the world at the press conference in honoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

The latest measures in Crimea generate unnecessary perception of Russian influence to modify geopolitical landscape although the trendsetters in Kiev share responsibility for the quagmire. 

In the ongoing political upheaval, Ukrainians are expected to pay unaffordable price with major powers evidently anchored on respective goals in defiance of Ukraine as the republic.

Crimea moving forward with politically motivated action to secede from Ukraine is counterproductive enabling pretexts for more turbulence in the otherwise preventable turmoil.

The safe passage for Ukraine is solidarity in rejecting status quo in Kiev and invite President Viktor Yanukovych to resume power fulfilling complete term in office required to address issues confronting the embattled nation. 

Accordingly Crimea abandoning separatist plan to merge with Russia and contributing to Ukraine’s liberty from external intervention would thwart uncertainties surrounding Ukraine and entire region.

Again prioritizing Crimean aspirations over pervasive progress and tranquility may not guarantee desirable outcome.

Crimea and Kiev are integral part of Ukraine. 

The foreign interference with unelected authorities in Kiev and simultaneously Crimean swift relocation within Russian confines exacerbate Ukraine’s vulnerability to opportunism.

Hopefully Ukrainian discernment and resolve to free Ukraine from foreign intrusion would prevail in Kiev, Crimea and the rest of the nation.

Best Wishes to people in Ukraine in protecting their homeland from partition and vassal statehood.

Peace to Ukraine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
