Russian official media are not shy speculating what Russia should do with Ukraine. The main objectives are ‘to justly punish’ Ukraine and to denazify it, they claim.
This means several disturbing things:
- de-Ukrainization – ethnic cleansings of Ukrainians and cultural genocide;
- de-Europeanization – submission of Ukrainian territories to Russia’s ‘Eurasian’ domination and economic exploitation;
- lustration – exclusion and punishment of the pro-Ukrainian elites and active civil society;
- demilitarization – liquidation of the Armed Forces, the government and police.
Russia’s recent actions in the Kyiv region prove that a genocide of the Ukrainian nation was not fringe talk, but a real plan. Russia has already started to introduce ‘denazification’ and demilitarization norms into the constitutions of the new puppet republics proclaimed in the recently overtaken territories.
