Give us Donetsk! Or the May 9 parade in Donetsk

As reality shows, Russian President Putin is a great cynical pragmatist and he carefully and long-term prepares his plans in secret from the public, as is typical of a professional KGB employee - an organization in whose ranks Putin faithfully served during the Soviet era. I am sure that Putin has long had in mind the seizure of Crimea and the south-eastern part of Ukraine, however, I believe, as well as claims to the remaining territories that the Russian Empire lost as a result of the collapse of the USSR. Putin does not hide his regret, equating the disappearance of the Soviet Union with the greatest geopolitical catastrophe. Putin sees his task as president, and in this he is united with the Russian people, in returning to the bosom of the empire the former fraternal peoples who fled from the "prison of peoples", which, according to the definition of the founder of Marxism, is Russia (1). Remember that Putin's first political enterprise was the bloody massacre of the small Chechen people who had decided to gain freedom (2). In this regard, the Ukrainian Maidan was only a pretext for the annexation of Crimea and the alienation of the South-East of Ukraine with its compact Russian population, which Putin easily turned into a fifth column, having sent to Ukraine security officers-provocateurs and outright fascists who received legitimization in Russia with Putin's light hand. I would not be surprised if it turns out that in Donetsk or Lugansk there are soldiers of the Russian army dressed in civilian uniform, or even paid bandits and hooligans released from prison. Blatant lies and disinformation, hypocrisy and cynical treachery - this is what the Russian president has been guided by literally from the first steps of his stay in the Kremlin. I dare to assume that these same qualitative character traits are inseparable from Putin's personality and in his everyday life. Without disdain, Putin goes to the intended target over the corpses of residents of houses specially blown up for the pretext to start the Second Chechen War. Putin is not at all embarrassed by the blatant, involuntarily smiling, brazen lie about the non-participation of the Russian regular army in the annexation of Crimea. The Russian president continues to lie further, claiming the alleged absence of Russian special services on the territory of Ukraine, sent by him with the aim of destabilizing the political situation on the eve of the presidential elections and separating Ukraine's South-Eastern part.
It must be said that Putin, in accordance with a carefully developed plan, undertook active undercover activities against Ukraine with an attempt to push a corrupt person into the presidency. For Moscow, this was a bold and the only correct decision, because
- firstly, a corrupt government will never agree to an association with the EU, because it is the same as signing its own death warrant,
- secondly, it is easy for Moscow to keep a corrupt government on a short leash.

I apologize for my immodesty, but back in early 2006 I foresaw how dangerous Yanukovych was for the Ukrainian people (3,4), and unfortunately, my fears were not in vain. Although it was only on the second try, Putin managed to bring Yanukovych to presidential power. Here, the blame lies primarily with the Ukrainian people. After all, why wouldn't the Maidan happen a year before the Sochi Olympics? It is unlikely that Putin would have dared to be aggressive at that time. Naivety and indiscriminateness, and perhaps even indifference in the elections of people to power ultimately resulted in a catastrophic situation for Ukraine, similar to the hopeless position of a rabbit in the tightening coils of a python. The bet on Yanukovych fully justified the Kremlin's efforts. During his presidency, Yanukovych handed out command posts in the army and police to the same traitors of the Ukrainian people as he himself was. This circumstance explains the inaction of law enforcement agencies and the army in response to obvious aggression from Russia.

I think that the Russian army will not stop at Crimea and will invade South-Eastern Ukraine, because Putin is not one of those people who easily abandon their goals. Putin does not see Ukraine in the EU, because it goes against his policy of "Back to the Empire". And then, he has gone so far in implementing his plan to seize Ukrainian territory that he cannot afford to stop halfway, otherwise the Russian people with their great-power worldview will consider Putin a traitor and an empty talker. The likelihood that the Russian army will march in Donetsk on May 9 is very high. Yes, popular celebration and jubilation are expected in Russia, but what will happen next?
It is definitely possible to assume that the Russian people will acquire a bitter enemy right at their border. Moreover, the world community will finally realize what Russia is, which was the Empire of Evil, and remains so. Economic isolation is inevitable for Russia, after which the empire will disintegrate and this time for good.

Yanukovych was the last Ukrainian President before Ukraine descended into a civil war. Plenty of evidence that his removal from office was a large part of why the civil war started as well. He had been -trying- to balance western interests with Russian interests and it's apparently for this reason that the U.S. supported Ukrainian nationalists to remove him. From an article that gets into his balancing act that was wrecked once he fled Ukraine fearing for his life:
**
SEPTEMBER
The Ukrainian cabinet unanimously approves the draft of the long-awaited Ukraine-EU Association Agreement. Yanokuych is expected to officially sign the agreement at the EU’s “Eastern Partnership Summit” in Vilnius on November 28th and 29th.

Russia – Ukraine’s major creditor and biggest trade partner – warns that this treaty would “cause chaos”, break the terms of an existing treaty between Ukraine and Russia, and lead to Ukraine’s economy collapsing. As a counteroffer, they suggest Ukraine sign a new deal with the Eurasian Economic Union.

NOVEMBER
The Ukrainian government issues a decree suspending preparations for the association agreement (AA). Deputy Prime Minister Yuriy Boyko warns the current terms of the agreement would “seriously damage the economy”.

“Pro European” demonstrations begin in Maidan square within days of the decree being issued. A poll run by the Kyiv Post finds an even split on joining the EU vs the Eurasian customs union: 39% for, 37% against.

Yanukovych attends the Eastern Partnership Summit on the 28th, but does not sign the Association Agreement, instead suggesting a new tri-lateral agreement between Ukraine, Russia and the EU. Russia is open to negotiating such a deal, but EU rejects this offer completely.

Despite not signing the AA, Yanukovych tells the press that Ukraine still intends to work for closer ties with the EU: “an alternative for reforms in Ukraine and an alternative for European integration do not exist…We are walking along this path and are not changing direction”.

Prime Minister Mykola Azarov echoed this: “I affirm with full authority that the negotiating process over the Association Agreement is continuing, and the work on moving our country closer to European standards is not stopping for a single day”.

Nevertheless, this is ubiquitously covered in the Western media as Yanukovych “refusing to sign the association agreement in favour of closer ties with Russia”.
