From the Obozrevatel:
"If we had always listened to our partners, we would still be part of the USSR
Andriy Ilienko, December 10, 2025
If we had always listened to what our esteemed partners told us, we would still be happily developing democracy within the USSR. Because that's exactly what President George H.W. Bush demanded of us in Kyiv in July 1991, a month before declaring independence.
Similarly, Yanukovych would still be living in Mezhyhirya, and we would be living in Malorossiya with Moscow garrisons all over the country. Because the main thing that our partners worried about during the Maidan was that we obediently wait for the elections (they were also honest, a guarantee) and not touch the legitimate president.
Once we did listen to our esteemed partners. And we gave up nuclear weapons for reinforced concrete security guarantees that we still enjoy.
We respect and love our partners, and are even ready to thank them (sincerely) for their support once again, but in order to thank them in the future, we must survive as a nation and a state.
Because otherwise who will thank them?"
