Even after winning on the battlefield, it is impossible to take control of its territory and carry out denazification and demilitarization as was done with Nazi Germany. This is Impossible simply because of geography.
The only way to dismantle an empire is to destroy it from within.
It was exactly the national movements that destroyed the Russian empire twice already – in 1918 and in 1991. It is the national movements that can become the force, that against the background of Ukraine’s military successes, will launch the mechanism of dismantling the so-called Russian Federation.
Yes, these movements are weak right now. Yes, representatives of the Russian people are fighting against Ukraine. But let’s remember how weak the Ukrainian movement was some 40 years ago, and Ukrainians were also cannon-fodder for the empire.
If they are weak, you need to help them become stronger. This is reality.
The main thing is to form a systemic policy of interaction with these movements. This is the task of our temporary special commission of the Verkhovna Rada.
We must establish cooperation with the different minority people of Russia and develop mechanisms for strengthening their self-awareness, develop their media, their political and public structures and national military formations in our armed forces.
This interaction will not only help destroy the empire but will also become the foundation of Ukraine’s future relations with the states that will emerge from its ruins.
Of course, we need to change the position of our Western partners. They should not repeat the mistakes of 1918 and 1991. Finally, they need to support the people enslaved by Moscow in the just struggle for freedom.
PS 264 votes for the creation of the commission. It is an honour for me to be chosen as its secretary.
