"The idea of ​​occupying empty territory." The Russian Federation realized that he would not be able to rule over Ukrainians and tries to expel them - Portnikov

It is also absolutely normal Russian policy in relation to the disloyal peoples - to expel from the territory they consider Russia, because in their view, these people are simply not worthy to live in the territory of Putin's historical Russia, " - said Radio NV Portnikov. Video Day political scientist stressed that the Russians are already expelled by Ukrainians from Ukraine. “More than 13 million people have already been expelled abroad.

About 10 million - [to Europe], three million - to Russia. And they continue deportation to spray people in different Russian regions, ”he said. Portnikov also noted that Russian troops are trying to destroy the infrastructure in the east and south to force people to migrate to the west - "will come further and further, displacing the population. " “I want to explain this that we have understanding what tasks we have.

They do not just have the idea to occupy the territory and appoint a new mayor or president there. They have the idea to occupy an empty territory. That is, when they reach Uzhgorod, very few people should remain in Ukraine. And then they will be inhabited by "Great Russian", real Russians, patriots, I do not know anyone. Or they will not populate - they do not occupy empty territories for the first time. Look to the Far East and Siberia - somehow it is empty.

And here will be emptiness, ”the political scientist said. He recalled that when the Moscow Principality for the first time in its history annexed a foreign territory - the Ryazan principality, the Ryazan from Ryazan was expelled and moved there. “You can say that it is a huge scale, you can not expel so many people. Agree, if you can expel 13 million, then you can expel 25-30, ”Portnikov said.
