"The greatest danger of framing all political issues exclusively in the context of Europe’s conflict with Russia, as the current European Commission tends to do, is that it is ushering in Russian-style securocratic state capture."
Orban’s defeat is a Pyrrhic victory for Brussels and the European mainstream, a dose of copium that allows inept and visionless leaders to forget for a moment that they are also on a trajectory towards failure and their own political demise. My latest for @AJEnglish

Here, Kuleba, Ukraine's ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and known journalist Gordon still claim that the big war was "inevitable" even had the Minsk accords been implemented. But even their own argument undermines the one-sided ethnonationalist "Russian imperialism" narrative. What Kuleba is saying is that the "Ukrainian political body" — meaning the pro-Western political camp and the (neo)liberal-nationalist "civil society" disproportionately empowered after the Euromaidan revolution — would have "rejected" the Donbass separatists reintegrated into Ukraine, while the latter would have been impeding pro-Western policies. This dynamic would have contributed to further destabilization of post-Euromaidan Ukraine and her vulnerability to Russian coercive stabilization from without. Kuleba and Gordon do not question the interests and ideologies of the "Ukrainian political body" itself, and their use of "cancerous tumor" to describe the Donbas separatists says it all.
