[dropcap]A[/dropcap]mong political analysts, one can meet more than a few theories on the ongoing developments in Donbass. I for one have repeatedly expressed my opinions in interviews with Russian media and for Fort Russ.
Allow me to quote my article published on Fort Russ on January 10th: “It can be presumed that the Ukrainians’ intensification of activities in the “ATO” zone is directly connected to Trump’s victory. In Ukraine, many known figures directly tied to the UAF and political circles feared the possibility of Donald Trump winning the US presidential elections. Since Trump’s victory has become a fait accompli, the Ukrainians expect serious, if not fundamental changes in American policy towards Ukraine. I think that the Ukrainians will attempt to drag the new American administration onto their side. To this end, a series of military provocations which will take place at the very beginning of (or just before) Trump’s inauguration (January 20th) are in order. Even better for the Ukrainians would be if these provocations would affect Russia and thereby give the Russophobic lobby in US political and military circles the occasion to accuse our country of aggression and put pressure on Trump”.
Jafe Arnoldski is senior executive editor with Fort Russ, a fraternal site. He also manages to find time to translate many valuable articles, like this one.
MAIN IMAGE: Poroshenko with his former supporter and enabler in crime, Barack Obama. The question is whether Trump will continue such outlaw policy.
