Just now, 12:40 pm EST, saw Ohryzko on hromadske, maybe others saw him too.
He is disappointed with the statements by the west. He said the west does
not understand because they do not study Russian history that nothing has
changed in terms of leadership manner since Ivan the terrible. He says the
west thinks it's just this personality or that personality. Ohryzko said
that the whole tradition and method of Russian leadership is really the
same do centuries.
He said the best way to help Ukraine is to let her have EU association
asap. He fears that Crimea will be taken, and then EU will just sort of
back off from the offer. He is very worried about this. He is also an
adherent of Ukraine into NATO. And also scraping the non nuclear status. He
feels that association would signal to Putin that Ukraine really is going
in another direction.
Hromadske may well put up the interview on their site a bit later.
