“I see the main threat from the position of the leadership of the so-called” DPR “and” LPR “, which undoubtedly benefits from maintaining the status quo, because they control this territory of a part of Ukraine. We say parts of Ukraine. And which, with their latest statements, are alarmist, on the one hand, they call on the Russian state to be ready to intervene, and on the other hand, they disseminate unverified information, do not allow OSCE monitoring groups, despite the agreement on the territory where the fighting is taking place. Who are the beneficiaries of the war? The leadership of the “DPR” and “LPR”. Obvious history “, – said the editor-in-chief.
He expressed concern that the situation could escalate into a “global confrontation” due to an accidental incident.
“An accidental incident is man-made. […] We understand the pretext for a military conflict. A real collision. It can be created from scratch. And there are beneficiaries of these pretexts. I’m already talking about the leadership of the self-proclaimed “republics”. This is a very dangerous situation, “Venediktov said.
When asked how seriously the DPR and LPR are twirling a big dog named Russia, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy replied: “The tail is wagging the dog.”
“Their position is taken into account. I do not think they are twisting, although they are trying to do it. But false informational messages, fake or exaggerated fake messages, on the one hand, on the other hand – throwing on their knees in front of the sovereign shouting ‘father, save me, don’t let me kill “- they, of course, influence decision-making in the Russian Federation,” Venediktov explained.
According to him, the leaders of the “LDNR” are trying to get additional support.
“Anything – with weapons, people, financial. And most importantly – a guarantee that Moscow will not exchange them, will not exchange them, because, let’s be honest, the current leadership of the“ DPR ”and“ LPR ”does not suit, first of all. that it is not clear what role if the Minsk agreements, that is, the holding of elections under the control of who knows who, the transfer of borders, what role they will play, possibly within Ukraine. They do not know this. And for them it is high risks. excuse me, as the Makhnovists, they have a free will, “the editor-in-chief of the radio station noted.
