Ukrainian MP: We cannot win unless the people enslaved by the empire rise ᐉ Fakti.bg News – World

Without the transformation of Russia itself, which would include the indigenous people enslaved by Moscow, Ukraine’s victory in the war is impossible, believes a group of Ukrainian MPs, writes BTA .

Lawmakers expressed their opinion at a roundtable organized by Ukrinform on the topic: “National movements in Russia: impact on the domestic situation and the war with Ukraine.” “

“We have to realize an important fact: it is almost impossible to win over Ukraine without internal opposition to the empire (Russian – ed. note) running on parallel lines . Why is this face as important as the Pokrovsk face? This is because the more armed resistance there is in Kazan, Yekaterinburg or Novosibirsk, the less our boys will die at the front and the sooner we will be victorious. It is almost impossible to achieve victory without overthrowing (the government) in Russia itself,” said MP Oleg Dunda.

According to the member of the Verkhovna Rada Vladimir Vyatrovich, the influence plan should definitely include a clause for changes in Russia. “If we are really talking about a strategy to defeat Russia in this war, no strategy will be complete without changes in Russia.” We can be satisfied that we now have an Impact Plan, and the first point is to join NATO. But I am sure that if this plan is not aimed at changes inside Russia, it is not about the final victory in the war of Ukraine against Russia, “Vyatrovich a ‘ believe.

The chairman of the parliamentary committee on freedom of speech, Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, is convinced that Ukraine should develop a policy to support the enslaved people of Russia. “Indeed, for a long time we delayed formulating our policy towards the enslaved people. It is difficult to generalize about trapped people because each of them is unique in their historical context, given opportunities and abilities. But we definitely need to take a systematic approach to shape such a policy,” said Yurchyshyn.

Deputy Head Maria Mezentseva believes that Ukraine should contribute to the fact that the representatives of the indigenous people of Russia have a platform in the Council of Europe. “I think it is appropriate, and the Ukrainian delegation in PACE supports this, to give a bigger and stronger voice to the indigenous people of Russia in PACE. This must be done urgently. Twelve members of the Ukrainian delegation hold the positions of vice-chairmen, we are the chairman of committees and sub-committees and we are the vice-chairman of political groups in the group, that is, we have influence on the formation of the leadership of the institution and we really put our hopes on the new leadership of the MFA in the movement and the position regarding the state policy towards the indigenous people,” said Mezentseva.

It should be noted that Russia includes 21 national republics and has more than 100 indigenous peoples.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, in August 2023 the Verkhovna Rada created a special commission to develop a state policy for interaction with the national movements of the Russian Federation.

In October 2022, the Verkhovna Rada called on the international community to support the right to self-determination of the indigenous people of Russia.
