Putin wants Ukraine in the world identified with IDIL

Michael Potter, president of the Center for Global Studies "Strategy XXI" in an interview with "Commander" named reasons why Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to turn President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on "terrorist" and a threat to Europe.
According to the expert, Putin is unacceptable provalnosti recognition policy "of getting up from its knees" and that Russia is not the United States, like in Moscow not tried.

So fiasco leader of the Kremlin is becoming more obvious:
- Project "New Russia" collapsed;
- External control circuit Bankova leadership of Ukraine as a "crony care" does not give the desired effect;
- Operation in Syria has not brought the desired results - the Assad regime continues to be threatened;
- Acts of terrorism in Europe led to the creation of "antiterrorist coalition" led by Russia;
- Economics Russia maintains downward tendencies;
- Sanktsiynyy regime for Russia remains;
- The incident with the "girl Lisa" Freaks and Russian fans at Euro 2016 intensified distrust of Europe and the West in general;
- Additional details of investigations Litvinenko murder, "suicide" Berezovsky in Britain, killing the creator of Russian propaganda machine Lyesina in the US and destruction flight MN17 to be made public, indicate the involvement of the Kremlin;
- Russian special forces intervention in the elections in the US on the side of one of the candidates, it became clear leads not to an increase but to drop its rating.

Michael Potter stressed that it is the euphoria of "krymnash" goes all the fermentation could cause distrust in the ability of Putin effectively run the country in terms of confrontation with the West. It is unacceptable for the Kremlin in the context of the forthcoming parliamentary September 18, 2016 and 2018 presidential election year and increases the risks of preserving the regime in power.

To receive the next portion of public euphoria in the Kremlin decided to expand the scope of the war against Ukraine in artificially created drive. Of course, everything should look like that "Kiev bloody junta" resorting to "terrorism in Russia." It is a surkovskym plan should lead to the identification of Ukraine with the Islamic state. Inside Russia do easier - zomboyaschyk works , but outside - difficult.
"However," logic "is already seen - as the West and Russia struggle with ID, then with Ukraine as a" terrorist state "and must be addressed. And then hint West - you say, can go about their business: brekzitom, refugees from the Ukraine, we all do. You just do not disturb "- said president of the Center for Global Studies" Strategy XXI ".
